Seriously, I was through one case where a party was forced to give up the domain, and claim only the registration cost ..
It was a case like above. A well known Hotel Chain didnt' want the com.sg domain, and a vendor of theirs was hosting it and doing some ecommerce work for their supply chain. So .com goes to corporate, .com.sg goes the Supply chain site for the hotel's suppliers, hosted by the third party guy who was getting paid for the SCM stuff.
One day the hotel chain woke up and wanted the .com.sg site to be transferred - vendor demurred, and also demanded x $ for the costs of the hosting etc. and prayed for the continued hosting with a possibly higher revenue ..
Hotel chain took them to Dispute resolution and won the case ..
carteki: those days another client of us had the .net domain, as .com had been taken over by somebody else ..
only that they didnt' know that the .com domain was some international private security company and we used to get all kinds of wrong emails, and threats .. we used to do catch-all .. it was not funny when we saw the wording in some of the emails
