WIPO Panel Rejects Polydec SA's Claim in Domain Dispute Over polydec.com
In a recent ruling, the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center dismissed Polydec SA's attempt to wrest control of the *polydec.com* domain from Knauf Information Services GmbH, citing insufficient evidence of bad faith. The Geneva-based precision parts manufacturer, whose trademark dates to 2018, argued that Knauf’s longstanding ownership of the domain obstructed its business, but the panel found that the original 1998 registration and subsequent acquisition in 2013, well before Polydec SA’s trademark emerged, precluded any bad-faith intent. Emphasizing the distinct business sectors of the parties and the legitimate context of Knauf’s acquisition, the decision also accused Polydec of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking, suggesting the complaint was a misguided bid to unfairly claim a domain outside its rightful scope. The visualization below illustrates detailed information about Polydec's trademark, which formed the basis of the UDRP complaint.
