The domain name klm.info was registered under the name Excelsa Coop of Hungary. A representative of the registrant sent an e-mail to the Dutch airline offering it for sale at $140,000. An argument that the name was intended for use on a portal for businesses sharing the initials KLM was rejected by a panellist of the World Intellectual Property Organisation, as was the assertion that it was not registered "with intent of commercial gain".
The panellist wrote that Excelsa Coop's explanation for its proposed use of the web site could not be accepted as "anything other than minimal camouflage for a cybersquatting operation planned from the outset."
