PCTOOLS

This U.S. company, developer of antivirus software, hired us to recover a domain name registered by a third party who was integrally reproducing the trademark of its core product.

After determining the particulars of the person who had registered this domain name, we prepared and submitted online the application pursuant to the ad hoc procedure for this type of cases, known as the “Policy for the solution of domain name disputes for .MX" (LDRP) and transmitted the owner of the domain name with a copy of our complaint.

WIPO received and gave course to our application. The holder of the domain name was notified and an expert was appointed in order to issue his findings within the period prescribed.

The expert considered that the conditions required to transfer the pctools.com.mx domain name from its holder to our client had been met – specifically, that the domain name had been registered in bad faith, and therefore, ordered that the name be transferred to our client. From beginning to end, this procedure took less than three months.
