The domain name has been "transferred" and cannot be used.

This story has two main characters: one is a well-known multinational enterprises-the world's largest enterprise management and collaborative business solutions provider, the world's third largest software company in Germany SAP, one is Shenzhen small Enterprises-Shenzhen Asia Information technology company. As things develop, the country's largest new network of domain name registrars is also involved.

6 years ago, Shenzhen, Asia can register the sapclub.org domain name, the site to operate quite well-known. One day, the German SAP company objected, that the site domain name is suspected of infringement, request the domain name transfer to it. Therefore, the domain name registrars new network to "lock" to live.

After their website was locked, the company sued the SAP Corporation for a decision on the attribution of the domain name. When the lawsuit has not yet been decided, the inexplicable thing happened: in the knowledge of Asia, the domain name was suddenly transferred to the name of the SAP company attorney, and then quickly transferred to the SAP company.

The new network explanation is: The domain name expires does not renew the fee. Yesterday, the Shenzhen Asian side again called the Shenzhen Commercial News reporter said that the company prepared to sue the new network, "We have to ask a statement." ”

"Domain name stolen by multinational corporations"

"Our site domain name has been robbed by multinational companies!" Recently, Shenzhen Asian Information technology company operations Director Tangmin to find a Shenzhen business newspaper reporter, "complained" German sap company too much. ”

According to the information provided by Tangmin: from September 8, 2004 onwards, Shenzhen Asia through the new network agents registered "sapclub.org" domain name, and under the domain name set up a website. "After several years of development, the site is widely known in the industry. ”

In September 2008, SAP filed a dispute over domain name to the World Intellectual Property Organization arbitration and Conciliation Center, requesting that the domain name sapclub.org be transferred to the SAP company name. At the end of that year, the World Intellectual Property Organization arbitration and Conciliation Center believed that Asia was maliciously registering and using SAP trademarks, and decided to transfer domain name sapclub.org to SAP company.

In defiance of this ruling, South Mt. District filed a lawsuit against the court in January 2009, demanding that the court decide the domain name attribution. Since the domain name is disputed, the domain name is also triple locked by the new network (no deletion, no transfer, no update). September 8, 2009, the domain name expired not renewed, was removed from the domain Name System. Subsequently, Asia can find domain name was transferred to a name guping, Asia can inquire to this guping is Beijing set good law firm intellectual Property company employees. January 27, 2010, SAP Company through domain name transfer to become the holder of the domain name.

March 15 this year, the Nanshan court to inform the hearing. According to Tangmin, the defendant, the SAP company, did not appear in court on the grounds that the domain name was already under the SAP company name. "The case was recently reopened, and the SAP attorney admitted guping (Guping) was his colleague. Tangmin said, the court has not decided domain name attribution, domain name has been transferred to the other name.

New network "Buck" does not give renewal

At the beginning of the domain name dispute, SAP company held the WIPO Arbitration and Conciliation Center ruling, but in the case of an Asian ruling, SAP did not seem to have succeeded in requiring the domain name to be transferred. In the second day of the prosecution, the new network restored domain name resolution services, but the domain name is still done triple lock.

The reporter repeatedly contacted SAP company to interview, China headquarters said this matter to Germany headquarters can reply. However, in the pleadings submitted to the Court by the SAP company lawyer, the reporter observed that the company did not accuse the website of infringing content, only that it had filed a domain name dispute with the WIPO Arbitration and Conciliation Centre, which had ruled that "Asia may not have any rights over the domain name." ”

The interesting change is: This incident to the largest domain registrar of the domestic new network also involved in the reason is that the domain name because there is no renewal has been deleted. Tangmin to reporters on the September 1, 2009 bank transfer bill, the above display domain name use fee 100 yuan. "Over the years to continue the fee is no problem, September 1, 2009 after we pay, the new network agents Comay told us to renew the fee, can not operate, to a new network to solve." ”

The question of renewal of domain name is puzzling

Shenzhen commercial News reporter recently called the new Network interview, a complaint staff after two inquiries, reply to reporters: The new network in the Asian International Domain name Dispute Arbitration Center of the relevant requirements, the domain name was locked. The domain name expires on September 8, 2009 and is not renewed after expiration.

The new network denied that the renewal requirement was not accepted, emphasizing that it was "caused by the expiration of the renewal fee", and said: After 60 days of the stipulated period, in the year of November 12, by the international Domain name registration agencies in the United States to delete. "is not deleted by us. ”

On the question of renewal, the new network and Asia can diverging. The final result, however, is that SAP has "got what it Wants".

At the beginning of this year, Asia can find the domain name through the Overseas registration Agency was transferred to a guping name, according to the Asian inquiry, found that this guping is Beijing set good law firm/intellectual property company employees. Subsequently, the SAP company through the domain name transfer becomes the domain name the owner.

"We have nothing to say if the court has a domain name for SAP," he said. But now the court has not been sentenced, the domain name has been transferred to each other, we must not be satisfied. "Tangmin said.

After receiving an interview with a Shenzhen business newspaper reporter, yesterday, tangmin again called the reporter said: "Asia can be ready to find a lawyer to sue the new network," We want to claim a statement. ”

This renewal question is questionable. "A person in a domain registration institution told reporters on the phone that according to the Convention, the domain name is locked, does not affect the renewal fee, and the renewal is very cheap, the domain name owner has no reason to pay."

Competing for a domain name or training market?

A disputed domain name, why let both sides make a fuss?

In the interview, an industry personage told Shenzhen newspaper Reporter: In the domain name dispute behind, may be the SAP company thinks Asia can rob its training market. SAP Company has a group of certified by the company's training institutions, training costs originally very expensive, in the impact of training institutions such as Asia, the cost has fallen down.

It is said that in 2005, the website of Asia is beginning to be famous. According to the data: the number of registered members of the website as at February 22, 2009 has reached more than 47,120, has become the industry personnel recruitment, headhunting, professional exchange of well-known platform.

Tangmin denies that Asia can have a big impact on SAP's training business. "We have set up a website for more than 5 years, not only does not hinder the SAP company's business, but has greatly promoted the SAP software in the Chinese mainland Area Business enterprise promotion and the application." ”

In addition, SAP may also have an intention to increase service income. Its head of the company announced this year that it would strive to increase the share of its service revenues in China. In Europe and the United States, the implementation of 1 of dollars of SAP software often need to pay 5 U.S. dollars related service costs. "This is far from being achieved in China," he said. ”
