Microsoft files complaint over XboxOne.com domain

4.5
Microsoft may have unveiled their brand new Xbox One console but one thing it didn’t do is launch new domains for that trademarked name. Sure, users can always go to Xbox.com but about XboxOne.com? Or XboxOne.net? Well those don’t belong to Microsoft just yet, and the company is fighting to get them.

Curious folks have always paid attention to Microsoft-registered domains so buying up XboxOne.com for example, would have ousted the name of the new console. Because they had to wait, Microsoft is now hurrying to register all the relevant domains for its Xbox One brand.

And as such they have filed a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum over the domains XboxOne.com and XboxOne.net, both of which are currently owned by a UK resident.

Microsoft generally has a lot of success when it comes to these kinds of disputes so there’s very little chance of things not going the way they want them to.

They are his sites. I don't see why he can't keep them or sell them. I also believe that he can legally say that he can use the name in a website due to freedoms guaranteed.

MoDOT HAHA I hope they dont get it also. They are stupid and need to learn to make a real gaming console and be less focused on tv and skype and other BS.


What's wrong with you have you not being paying attention? Everything on gaming is coming during e3? This announcement was for its showing and its specs, and appeals to the home entertainment part of it. Just wait.

Microsoft should just compensate him for the domain, Since he did use his money to purchase it.
