Tiger Woods has lost an arbitration hearing to get the domain name that is identical to one of his kids’ names.
The case involved Woods’ second son, Charlie Axel Woods, and the domain name CharlieAxelWoods.com. To make his case, Woods claimed the domain name was confusingly similar to his trademark for "Tiger Woods" - but the arbitrator didn't agree, and rightfully so.
Although it is quite clear that the domain’s owner bought it with Woods' son in mind, UDRP is not the proper mechanism to fight a case like this one.
It is simply incorrect to try and find a child’s name confusingly similar to a parent’s name, although it may have happened in the past.
Last month Tiger Woods filed a similar case for the domain name SamAlexisWoods.com. The registrant of the domain name offered to transfer it once the case was filed.
