- remithome Corporation Lavinia Hong, 510-268-9950 lavinia.hong@remithome.com On February 21, 2008, a panel of the National Arbitration Forum ordered that the domain names remit2home.com and remit2home1.com be transferred from Times of Money Ltd., a Mumbai, India-based company, to remithome Corporation, a U.S. to Philippines online remittance service based in Oakland, California (www.remithome.com).

The panel ruled in favor

of remithome, finding that remit2home.com and remit2home1.com were confusingly similar to remithome Corporation's registered REMITHOME mark. The panel noted that adding the number "2" in the center of the mark does not render the domain names distinct from the established REMITHOME trademark.

The panel also found that Times of Money lacks rights and legitimate interests in remit2home.com and remit2home1.com and "simply used the domains to redirect traffic to a website comprising their actual business name, Times of Money."

Finally, the panel found that "bad faith registration and use" is indicated because Times of Money "profits from this website, and is thus taking commercial advantage of this likelihood of confusion ... ." The finding that Times of Money had "actual or constructive knowledge" of remithome Corporation's rights in the REMITHOME mark prior to registering the domain names provides further evidence of registration and use in bad faith.

"We welcome the panel's decision," said Dennis Reis, CEO and co-founder of remithome Corporation. "Remithome has spent years building its reputation for convenience, reliability, service, and value. We are committed to maintaining the integrity of our trademark and brand."

The National Arbitration Forum's decision was made in accordance with the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The National Arbitration Forum is a primary provider of the ICANN domain name dispute resolution program, resolving issues involving disputed trademarks.
