In one of the cases, the names, including yahooemail.net, yahoofree.net, yahoofree.com and yahoochat.net were registered by an individual Jorge Kirovsky of Uruguay. All names pointed to a pet site. Kirovsy said that Yahoo! is a largely unknown trade mark in Uruguay and that it is “the name of a dog in Uruguay.” The panel took the view that the registration was in bad faith and confusingly similar to Yahoo!'s registered trade mark.
In a separate case, Yahoo! won the transfer of 36 domain names from a number of others, including misspellings such as ayhoo.com and wwwgeocities.com because they were again confusingly similar to Yahoo!’s trade marks and registered in bad faith.
