DRS Complaint for Rock.co.uk denied

[atlas]

The Complaint is brief and offers little beyond unsupported assertion. In my view, the Complainant has not given enough evidence to show it has rights in the term ROCK. Equally, the Complainant has not set out to my satisfaction why the domain name in the Respondent’s hands is Abusive. Registrants in the .uk space are under no obligation to use their domain names and failure to do so is not in itself Abusive. While I can understand the Complainant’s frustration in seeing a potentially useful domain name lying unused, this is not a matter for the DRS.

Another one down! :lol: Lots more will be coming in June once .uk is released.

They already use rock-its.com and .co.uk! Why didn't they just buy Rock.co.uk instead of qualifying themselves for the Hall of Shame!

They also own rockits.co.uk but haven't tried claiming rockits.com

That registrant is a long, long way beyond being the first nutty one not to bother responding to a DRS.

Anything you'd like to share?

I did wonder what would happen after the auction few years back but like many never used to its potential and unlikely ever will although at $1,770 they paid doubt they give a toss there unlikely to ever loose out
