D2021-2768: RDNH finding over idahomerealty.agency and 10 more

On 18 November 2021, a WIPO panel found that Idaho Home Realty LLC brought its complaint over idahomerealty.agency and 10 more in bad faith, the finding known as reverse domain name hijacking (RDNH). The complaint succeeded for some of the domain names and failed for the rest.

The panel’s finding

For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the disputed domain names <idahomerealty.agency>, <idahomerealty.biz>, <idahomerealty.expert>, <idahomerealty.homes>, <idahomerealty.info>, <idahomerealty.online>, <idahomerealty.properties>, <idahomerealty.realestate>, <idahomerealty.rentals>, <idahomerealty.solutions> are transferred to Complainant: As to the disputed domain name <idahomerealty.com>, the Complaint is denied for the aforementioned reasons.

The panel’s decision, D2021-2768

The order above only denies the complaint. The finding itself is made in the panel’s reasoning:

Accordingly the Panel finds that the Complainant has abused the administrative proceeding and engaged in RDNH with respect to the <idahomerealty.com> disputed domain name while recalling equally that Respondent has engaged in bad faith by registering the Additional Disputed Domain Names.

How the RDNH archive is built

WIPO publishes every panel decision and a full-text search over them. This archive starts from that search for the wording a panel uses when it declares reverse domain name hijacking, reads each decision in full (older ones are web pages, newer ones PDFs converted to text), and keeps those where the panel itself says the complaint was brought in bad faith. A finding is marked declared in the operative decision when the final order says so, or found in the panel’s reasoning when only the reasoning does.

The reading is automatic and has been checked by hand on samples, but it is not exhaustive and not perfect: some findings may be missing, and a few listed cases may be borderline. A case is listed only when the panel’s own closing words can be quoted cleanly; decisions with an irregular layout, or not written in English, are held back. Every page links to the decision on WIPO, which is the authority. Dates, parties and panellists come from WIPO’s case records. Respondents are not named.

This is an information resource, not legal advice. A finding of RDNH is a panel’s conclusion about one complaint, not a statement about the company beyond that case.
