Denton Wilde Sapte (DWS) has won its first IP deal for Citigroup as a result of its Taylor Wessing hires earlier this year.

The firm, led by new IP litigation partner John Linneker, triumphed in a cybersquatting case in the High Court two weeks ago. Linneker brought the case with him from Taylor Wessing.

In 1998, hours after the announcement of the merger that created Citigroup, Jim Davies, a litigant in person, registered the domain citigroup.co.uk through his company Global Projects Management.

Even though anyone who tried to access the website received an error message, emails which were sent to citigroup.co.uk were received by Davies.
