Australian Rugby Union refused ownership of wallabies.com.au
Australia’s rugby union team has lost another clash, this time over its domain name, with a tribunal striking down the organisation’s claim to wallabies.com.au.
Perth-based company Ebusiness Pty Ltd registered the name wallabies.com.au in 2006 and set up a page linking to information sites about the marsupials. Last year, the ARU filed a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organisation and sought to take ownership of the name.
I just Googled “Wallabies” and wallabies com au is nowhere to be seen – Rugby’s Twitter, website and news fills the page.
Don’t waste your time with that domain and definitely don’t buy it.
Another predictable loss to the Wallabies… Good to see quality of decision-making and execution at Head office is as solid as Bernard Foley at 10
It’s page 9 of Google. I’ve never been that far in before.
