Case Number: NAF 2115900
Complainant: North Seattle Community College Foundation d/b/a American Financial Solutions
Represented by: Fish & Richardson P.C.
American Financial Solutions, the trade name of North Seattle Community College Foundation, has been found guilty of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking by a panel of the National Arbitration Forum, after filing a UDRP to force the transfer of the domain af-ss.org. American Financial Solutions had argued, as part of its complaint, the domain is confusingly similar to a trademark it has for its acronym, “AFS”.
The sole panelist ruling on the matter, Terry F. Peppard, rejected that argument, as well as the remainder of the complaint. A ruling of RDNH was handed up on October 30, 2024.
