UDRP Dismisses Claim for “hallofgames.com” Due to Prior Registration

The UDRP complaint for the domain “hallofgames.com” was denied. The Complainant, a company involved in game design and sales since 2019, alleged trademark infringement, asserting that the domain name was identical to its registered “HALL OF GAMES” mark from 2021. However, the panel found that the domain had been registered by the Respondent in 2002, long before the Complainant’s claimed rights in 2018. The decision highlighted the lack of evidence of bad faith registration since it predated the trademark claim, resulting in a denial.
