Frank Schilling has gotten hit with its 35th UDRP as Jetgo of Australia has filed on the domain name JetGo.com
JetGo of Australia’s official site is jetgoaustralia.com.au
JetGo appears to be a small charter service for Jets showing as their Fleet a Embraer 135 Regional Jet.
The .com.au domain was registered in May 2011.
The company also owns the domain name jetgoaustralia.com which was registered in December 2012 however the company does not own JetGo.com.au
JetGo’s Civil Aviation certificate as listed on their site is dated May 2, 2013.
As far as JetGo.com it looks like the domain name dropped in July 2010 and was registered (or acquired at a drop auction) in July 2010 by NameAdministration.
Looks like Jetgo of Australia is headed down the same path as 34 of the 35 previous complainants whose UDRP got smacked down by Mr Schilling and Mr. Berryhill.
The UDRP was filed with WIPO and was assigned case number D2013-1339.

Would you not expect them to get jetgo.com.au first?
Michael Berkens says
Brands
I would say
1. the .com is more valuable
2. the .com is parked
3. jetgo.com.au is owned by a company that would seem to provide transportation to people to the airport (JETBUS AIRPORT SHUTTLE PTY LTD) so legitimate use would be established although the site is showing as being down right now.

Time FS used the fact he’s been forced to pay hundreds of thousands of $ to show how unfair the system is.
Having to shell out a few thousand each time just to keep what’s rightfully his.
Maybe go after a losing complainant or two for damages would help deter those who currently have more to gain than to lose.
Michael Berkens says
Unfortunately the UDRP system does not allow winners of UDRP to go after their costs against the losers.
However remember that complainant’s still win 85% or more of the cases so the TM groups would go for that in a heartbeat would help Frank and true domain investors but a lot of “domainers” would be in huge trouble
Brighton Bob says
I see they have lodged a challenge against the jetgo.com.au as well.
And maybe if Frank was more reasonable about the dollars he wants to sell someone back the .com of their own name, less people would go after him!
