Sulit.com.ph Losses to Sulit.ph

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has handed down the decision regarding the dispute between sulit.com.ph and the owner of sulit.ph.

I wrote about the domain dispute (UDRP) back in June where the owners of popular classified ads site Sulit.com.ph wants to take control of sulit.ph.

The resolution went down on a technicality, including one very critical point — that the term “sulit” is a generic word and is also being used by a lot of other websites in their domains. 

It’s also interesting to note that Sulit.com.ph offered to buy the domain sulit.ph for a much as $2,000 so after negotiations failed, they had to file for UDRP.

 VS.

NICE!
