What do you think shall be the outcome of this WIPO case for 1800.Flowers?
Should 1-800-Flowers.com,Inc just have paid the $99 to register the domain name already to protect their brand especially when exact match GTLD’s were being touted as the next best thing to Dot Com domain names? This is what the sunrise trademark protection period was designed to protect brand/trademark owners so they really should have purchased then instead of having to now fight a WIPO case, especially when they already bought 1-800.Flowers in the sunrise period back in 2015 which doesn’t resolve or forward but why not get 1800.Flowers at the same time?
