You’ll have to excuse my feeble attempt at a pun!
The WIPO UDRP decision involving carlsberg.tv is incredibly short and does not contain any surprises.
Carlsberg is an internationally recognised brand – its the 5th largest brewing company in the world!
Carlsberg have a very well established usage and have taken steps to protect their brand in many territories globally:
The Complainant has registered several trademarks containing
“Carlsberg” in more than 150 jurisdictions around the world, including
the United Kingdom. Additionally, the Complainant is the holder of
several domain names incorporating Carlsberg, including
<carlsberg.co.uk>, <carlsberg.eu> and <carlsberg.dk>.
Furthermore the website “www.carlsberg.com” is the Complainant’s
general international site.
Since the respondent didn’t actually respond the decision was boringly straightforward.
