EBUYgumm Wins Domain Battle Against EBay and Gumtree

2019/10/09

EBUYgumm has won a domain name battle against eBay and Gumtree.
The decision, delivered by Nominet, the official registry for UK domain names, ruled that eBUYgumm was not an abusive registration that interfered with the eBay or Gumtree brands.
 
EBUYgumm was accused of registering an abusive domain name, incorporating elements of Gumtree and eBay’s branding into its web advertising.
The complainants also suggested that eBUYgumm’s logo was deliberately similar in terms of font and colouring.
 
The decision, delivered by Michael Silverleaf QC on behalf of Nominet’s dispute resolution service, found in favour of eBUYgumm, dismissing all of the claims made by eBay and Gumtree.
