[ga] Another UDRP kangaroo court

"The Respondent contends that the Complainant does not have trademark  
rights in the word KOC which is the word that appears in the disputed  
domain name. This contention is rejected by the Panel as it is not  
presently possible to reflect Turkish characters in a domain name and  
therefore KOC is the obvious equivalent to the Complainant’s trade  
name and mark KOÇ."
Panel has either been living under a rock for 8 years (since IDN  
domains were introduced) or is prejudice against the respondent.
Considering the complainant already has KOÇ.com, and had  
unsuccessfully tried to take koc.com away via UDRP once before, this  
decisions reflects just how broken the UDRP process is.
Especially when you consider that this same panelist denied the  
transfer of yapifuari.com in http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/html/2009/d2009-0573.html 
 because "yapi fuari" is a generic term, yet in this case with "koç"  
which is the word for "Ram" and the word for the Aries star sign, he  
refuses the generic defense, even not bothering to mention it in the  
"Rights or Legitimate Interests" section of the decision even though  
mentioning that the respondent raised the matter earlier in the  
decision.
Kangaroo court?
