Big win for credit report company; CitizenHawk may reap benefits. In what may set a record for most domains subject to a single domain name arbitration, the parent company of FreeCreditReport.com has won the transfer of 1,017 domain names registered by California-based NetCorp. The domain names are mostly typos of the company’s FreeCreditReport.com web site, which is widely advertised as a free credit check service. Examples include fareecreditreport.com, freecmeditreport.com, and freecqeditreport.com. NetCorp argued that FreeCreditReport.com is merely descriptive, and that the company did not have trademark rights at the time it registered the domain names.
