Turkey’s Automobile Initiative Group (TOGG) lost the lawsuit it filed against the person who has owned this address since 2003 for the domain name “togg.com”. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) rejected the complaint, stating that TOGG was trying to “reversely” take over the domain.
While it is said that the works for TOGG, which was launched as ‘Turkey’s Automobile’, are continuing rapidly, Turkey’s Automobile Initiative Group Industry and Trade Inc. continues its attempts to get the ‘togg.com’ domain name. The company, which filed a complaint in order to obtain the “togg.com” domain name previously acquired by someone else, and took the matter to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), left this attempt empty-handed.
The outcome of the lawsuit filed in July became clear and WIPO said, ‘that you are unfairly trying to seize TOGG’s domain name’ and He rejected TOGG’s complaint, stating that the lawsuit in question was ‘opened in bad faith’.
The counterparty does not want to sell the domain name
According to the information shared by WIPO, the domain name in question belongs to a company called The Office of George Gloud, which provides IT services to its customers. litigation It is stated that this company has been active and serving for about 18 years., “It was founded in 2018, it does not produce or sell anything, and it has no customers” was used for TOGG.
While WIPO states that TOGG is trying to obtain the domain name unfairly, The last time the togg.com domain name was taken by the same person was in 2014. and since there was no plan related to TOGG at that time, he concluded that the domain name was not taken intentionally.
In the information disclosed as a result of the lawsuit, TOGG’s cannot claim the “togg.com” domain name. The complaint made by Turkey’s Automobile Initiative Group Industry and Trade Inc. was rejected.
It should be noted that TOGG has the right to object to the said decision. However, TOGG’s probability of purchasing this domain name from the other party is also very low. Because, according to the information announced, the owner of the domain name wants to continue his own business through this domain name as it has been for years.
