WASHINGTON -- In the first test of a new international system for resolving disputes over Internet domain names, a panel in Geneva on Friday took an address away from a man accused of trying to peddle it to the World Wrestling Federation for a hefty profit.
Perhaps the most "interesting" part of this particular case was that the parties had come to a settlement agreement. It seems that WIPO insisted on "ruling" in this case regardless of settlement, something that is rather unprecedented in any arbitration system I know of.
