The firm of Williams McCarthy LLP represented Candy Cloud IP LLC in the company’s effort to use UDRP to obtain the domain candycloud.com. The case was filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization, which issued its ruling of RDNH against Candy Cloud on November 14, 2022, only four months after the company had secured a new trademark registration. The domain, itself, had been registered since 2006.
