Victoria's Secret wins dispute over useless domain

Victoria’s Secret just won a case it filed with the National Arbitration Forum over the domain victoriassecretzone.info. The company claimed the name violated its trademark and was confusingly similar to its brand name. The registrant did not respond– probably because he had no clue why Victoria’s Secret wanted the name in the first place.

Who would honestly confuse victoriassecretzone.info for the real Victoria’s Secret? The lingerie company was just as dumb as the registrant in this case. While trademark owners certainly have a right to protect their interests, some cases just aren’t worth pursuing. The registrant was never going to profit from the name and only an idiot would buy it. The only thing VS did was waste its time and money.
