Manhattan Review has successfully gained control over three internet domains, following a WIPO panel judgment declaring that their initial registration infringed on the company's trademark.
NEW YORK, March 6, 2024 -- Manhattan Review, a pioneering global educational services firm based in New York City, is proud to announce a significant victory in the protection of its intellectual property rights. The company has successfully won two crucial arbitration cases at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) concerning domains unlawfully registered by Indian trademark infringers.
In a landmark decision, WIPO has ordered the transfer of the disputed domain names to Manhattan Review, underscoring the importance of trademark rights as well as the global commitment to safeguarding intellectual properties across borders. These proceedings not only represent a win for Manhattan Review but also set a precedent in the ongoing battle against online trademark infringements.
"We are thrilled with the outcomes of these proceedings," said Prof. Dr. Joern Meissner, Founder and Chairman of Manhattan Review. "This victory is not just for our company but for all brand owners who fight meticulously to protect their intellectual property rights in the digital age. We are grateful for the diligent work of our legal team and the WIPO panel for recognizing the merit of our claims."

"Safeguarding our customers from deceptive counterfeit offers is our utmost priority," adds Professor Meissner.
