Complaint deniedk2r.com
In K2r Produkte AG v. Jeremie Trigano, D2000-0622 (WIPO, 2000), a majority of the panel found reverse domain name hijacking, holding that the complainant had already established the respondent's legitimate interest in k2r.com before filing anyway, on unsupported cybersquatting allegations. One panelist dissented, believing the complainant genuinely thought the respondent's explanation was false.
