In a recent decision under the Uniform Domain Name
Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) before the World Intellectual
Property Organization (WIPO), a UDRP panel denied a UDRP complaint
for the disputed domain name feev.com, finding the dispute
to be wholly unsuitable for determination under the UDRP, and
entering a finding of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking
(RDNH).
Background

Internet and IT services, including fintech and cryptocurrency

The Respondent was Firas Dabboussi, FeeV, of the United
States. The disputed domain name was registered on 22

domain name did not resolve to an active
website.
