Abstract

In the recent domain name dispute of Intergr8 IT v Sunshine/ Mr Louis Botha involving a South African Complainant and Registrant, a WIPO Administrative Panel rained on the parade of the Registrant of the disputed domain name, one Mr Louis Botha, aka "Sunshine," by ordering that the domain name, integr8it.com, be transferred to the Complainant, Intergr8 IT. The decision raises a number of interesting issues, and differs from the run-of-the-mill domain name objection in that the determination of certain factual issues in dispute between the parties essentially decided the dispute.
