The central role of the UDRP: abusive cybersquatting cases

03 October 2023

Kallpa Generación SA, owner of the Peruvian mark KALLPA, sought the transfer of ‘kallpagas.com’ under the UDRP.

The panel found that the respondent appeared to have operated a business of some substance under its business name prior to the registration of the domain name. The dispute could not reasonably be considered to be a "clear case of cybersquatting" of the type that the UDRP was intended to address.
