Hugo Boss Wins UDRP

Hugo Boss has won a WIPO UDRP for the domain hugoboss.tv.

The only “interesting” part of the decision is that the domain had been held by the registrant since 2005. So was Hugo Boss slow to act or have they only started worrying about their domain portfolio recently?

The domain is currently showing eNom’s default holding page and the whois output isn’t giving away much:
