Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. has been found guilty of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking after attempting to use the UDRP process to force the transfer of the domain starofthesea.com. Royal Caribbean does not have a trademark for the phrase ‘star of the sea’, and the domain, itself, has been registered since 1998.
A three-member panel of the World Intellectual Property Organization, composed of members Douglas M. Isenberg, Kathryn Lee and Georges Nahitchevansky, handed up their RDNH ruling against Royal Caribbean on September 22, 2023.
