Policy (29 September 1999). The document by which the draft implementation
documents were presented to the Internet community for comment.

Court
Cases (by date)
Strick Corporation
v. James B. Strickland, Jr., Civil Action No. 00-3343 (E.D.PA. August 27,
2001) Ruling in favor of domain
holder against claim of initial interest confusion.
People for
the Ethical Treatment of Animals v. Doughney, Nos. 00-1918 and 00-2289
(4th Cir., August 23, 2001) Ruling against domain holder on claim of initial
interest confusion.
"UDRP Appeals in Court," UDRPlaw.net.
Brookfield
Communications v. West Coast Entertainment, 174 F.3d 1036 (9th Cir.
1999). Senior user loses domain name; initial interest confusion extended
to meta tags.
Summaries
of some relevant cases (April 20, 2000)
Cerutti1881
v. Cerutti, Inc., No. 95 CIV 7782, 1998 WL 3350 (S.D.N.Y Jan. 5, 1998) Ruling
against domain name owner, based on likelihood of confusion.
Jews for Jesus
v. Brodsky 993 F.Supp. 282 (D. N.J. 1998) Defendant owned domain name
jewsforjesus.com which linked to a site that disparaged Jews for Jesus and
provided another link to a pro-Judaism site.
KCPL v. William
Cary Nash, 1998 WL 823657 (SDNY November, 1998). The court distinguishes
Panavision in two ways. First, Panavision was decided by a Fed Ct in CA,
thus it was based on CA long arm statute. The CA long arm statute is more
permissive than the NY long arm statute which is applicable in this case.
Second, the defendant in Panavision was clearly a cyber pirate while the
actions in this case do not constitute cyber piracy.
Panavision
v. Toeppen 141 F.3d 1316 (9th Cir. 1998). This case deals with the
issue of "cybersquatting." The court in Panavision analyzes infringement
as dilution rather than likelihood of confusion.
Playboy
Enterprises, Inc. v. AsiaFocus International, Inc., 1998 WL 724000 (E.D.Va.
1998). Court found Jurisdiction against defendant located in Hong Kong
because the defendant had targeted a Virginia Company.
Cardservice,
Int'l v. McGee, 950 F. Supp. 737 (E.D. Va. 1997)
Ruling against domain name holder based on likelihood of confusion.
CDSolutions,
Inc. v. Tooker, 965 F. Supp. 17 (N.D. Tex. 1997)
Finding no personal jurisdiction in a domain name dispute.
Cybersell,
Inc. v. Cybersell, Inc., 130 F.3d 414 (9th Cir. 1997) This leading
personal jurisdiction case established that a passive web site alone is
not sufficient to subject one to jurisdiction. Instead "something else"
is needed.
Interstellar
Starship Serv. Ltd. v. Epix, Inc., Civil No. 97-107-FR, 1997 WL 736486 (D.
Or. Nov. 20, 1997)
A declaratory judgment action (in which the parties requested that the
court resolve a domain name dispute). The court finds no likelihood of confusion
and the domain name owner prevails.
Juno
Online Serv. v. Juno Lighting, Inc., 979 F. Supp. 684 (N.D. Ill. 1997)
Addressing the defense of trademark misuse in a domain name dispute; finding
no trademark infringement for merely "warehousing" domain name.
Lockheed
Martin Corp. v. Network Solutions, Inc., Case No. CV 96-7438 DDP (Anx),1997
WL 381967 (C.D. Cal. Mar. 19, 1997) Dismissing an action for contributory
trademark infringement brought against NSI in domain name dispute.
Planned Parenthood
Federation of America v. Bucci 42 U.S.P.Q.2d 1430 (S.D.N.Y. 1997) sets
out the analysis used by courts in likelihood of confusion cases. While
this case's interpretations have been questioned by scholars, it is frequently
relied on by courts throughout the US in subsequent cases. At issue in
this case is the use of plannedparenthood.com by an antiabortion activist.
Teletech
Customer Care Mgmt., Inc. v. Tele-Tech Co., Inc., 977 F. Supp. 1407 (C.D.Cal.
1997)

dilution.

granted jurisdiction because it determined that purposeful availment exists
for an interactive web site.
Actmedia
v. Active Media Int'l, No. 96C3448, 1996 WL 466527 (N.D. Ill. July 17, 1996)
Ruling against domain name owner based on likelihood of confusion.
CompExam'r
Agency v. Juris, Inc., no. 96-0213-WMB (Ctx), 1996 WL 376600 (C.D.Cal. May
22, 1996)
Ruling against domain name owner, based on likelihoodof confusion.
