Oops.
Silicon Labs has lost the domain name, SiliconLabs.com. The Texas-based company has filed for arbitration with National Arbitration Forum to try and get it back.
Silicon Labs’ primary domain name is actually SiLabs.com, but SiliconLabs.com is obviously one that the company wants to maintain.
So how did this happen? It seems that the domain name expired on December 21, 2008. Once it expired, a Utah man snatched it up and pointed it to a parked page. The domain name was registered by Network Solutions and then auctioned off at NameJet once it expired.
The arbitration case is currently ongoing.
UPDATE: Silicon Labs has won its domain name back. I love happy endings.
