"Apple has successfully won its dispute over the iPhone5.com domain, after\u00A0it took its\u00A0complaint\u00A0to the\u00A0World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO),\r\n\r\nWIPO recently posted to its website that the domain has been 'Terminated', with the domain owner expected to have relinquished ownership. The iPhone5.com domain is now being held by\u00A0brand protection agency Corporation Service Company, which may have been used by Apple to hold it for the company.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe domain was registered in 2008 and operated as a online bulletin board. Its owners stated that\u00A0it was &amp;quot;not endorsed, sponsored, nor otherwise affiliated with Apple&amp;quot; and was &amp;quot;for the sole purpose of entertainment and knowledge.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe dispute doesn't confirm that Apple will name its next-generation smartphone 'iPhone 5', the company is probably acting to stop people from profiting from its trademarks.\r\n\r\nApple has sometimes taken its time to protect its trademarks by claiming domain names from squatters. The company\u00A0doesn\u2019t own iPad.com\u00A0\u2013 and has never claimed it, even though it\u00A0owns the trademark\u00A0since\u00A0acquiring it from Fujitsu\u00A0in March 2010).\r\n\r\nIt also took the company ages to \u2013 successfully \u2013 claim the domain\u00A0iPods.com.\u00A0It also doesn\u2019t own iBooks.com (Barnes &amp;amp;amp; Noble grabbed this), nor iBookstore.com.\r\n\r\nEven if we did soon see the iPhone 5, Apple is highly likely not to actually use the domain. In many cases, such disputes are merely protective plays."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
