The Denmark-based law firm of Hjulman & Kaptain represented the Aalborg-based Acubit A/S in its attempt to hijack the domain name acubit.com. Acubit sought to gain control of a domain with a registration that predated the company’s existence by seven years, asserting a recent trademark and Danish trademark rules of practice gave it rights to own the domain.
