Animal domain UDRPs
Pig.com – transfer denied New Pig Corporation vs. Adam Dicker
Elephant.com – transfer denied Admiral Insurance vs. Adam Dicker
Funny thing is both pig and elephant offered money, then went to udrp and I won both of those UDRP’s, then they came back with better offers.
Dolphins.com – dispute terminated, later transferred
Flamingo.com – domain transferred
Octopus.com – domain transferred TheDomains write-up
Cygnet.com (young swan) – transfer denied owned at the time by Telepathy
Penguin.org – transfer denied
Tiger.com – transfer denied (thanks to the tip from M in the comments)
Dogs.com – Dog.com vs. Pets.com – transfer denied
Bulldog.com (and buldog.com – Dutch spelling) domain transferred
Pig.biz – (STOP procedure) – domain transferred Complainant, New Pig Corporation, is the same Complainant in the UDRP for pig.com above.
Kingfisher.biz (STOP procedure) – transfer denied
Raven.biz – withdrawn
(last five all thanks to Peter Müller of muepe.de)
Usually when a Complainant loses a UDRP, the domain owner never hears from them again. These animal domain disputes are unusual, as in several cases the Complainant wound up purchasing the domain from the domain owner after filing the UDRP. Adam sold pig.com and elephant.com to the respective Complainants. I sold Cygnet.com to the Complainant (the only time a Complainant has contacted me about buying a domain after losing a UDRP). And the Miami Dolphins terminated their UDRP but somehow still wound up with Dolphins.com.
Do you know of any other animal domain UDRPs?

Nat – you are right on about how one usually never hears from Complainants after they lose a UDRP…..I have found that to be true time and time again after UDRP’s…Strange…
Zak,
It seems that the companies who want these animal domains have to have them – and will get them by hook or by crook. Even if it means coming back to the domain owner after losing a UDRP with their tail between their legs…

Great finds! How did you find all these cases?

I already knew dogs.com. As I intend to write in this topic in my blog as well, I did some additional research at udrpsearch.com for popular pets.
Excellent research. Thanks again for sharing. I’ve finished updating the post with the cases you found.
