VW obtains typo domain

Volkswagen AG of Wolsburg has managed  to bring about the transfer of  
the domain volkswagn.com, during an action before the tribunal of the  
WIPO.

The domain was lodged in the ownership of the Digi Real Estate  
Foundation from Panama. Volkswagen was able to point to his  
international recognition  and to substantiate the continued  
existence of its trademark rights since 1949.

Because no statement of any sort was put forward from the side of the  
domain owner, the tribunal  had no difficulty in latching on to the  
arguments put forward by the complainant and ordering the transfer of  
the domain.
