Lost in Translation: Les Jeux De Worms Sont Faits

Case: D2002-0418

Domain(s): banqueworms.com

Complainant: Banque Worms

Respondent: FW, Spencer, Steven

The Defense:

...the name " Banque Worms " was chosen because it was unable to use the English term for bank owing to severe restrictions on using the word "Bank" in the United Kingdom; it felt that the French word for bank was more suitable and would be easily recognizable to promote its "worms" game.
