WIPO orders transfer of PinSex.com & PinGay.com to Pinterest

Pinterest, Inc. v. Pin Digital SL (WIPO Case No. D2014-1067)

Quote:
The website "www.pinsex.com" has had approximately 48.8 million visits since it became operative, with almost 70,000 registered users from all over the world. In the last three months "www.pinsex.com" has received over 99,000 daily visits reaching its highest peak in February 2014 with 550,000 visits in one day. The website "www.pingay.com" has had approximately 3.4 million visits since it became operative, and has almost 3,000 registered users from all over the world. In the last three months "www.pingay.com" has received over 12,600 daily visits, reaching its highest peak also on February 2014 with 506,045 visits in one day.

For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the disputed domain names <pinsex.com> and <pingay.com> are transferred to the Complaint.
My guess is Pinterest is going to use this win as the basis for additional UDRP filings against clone sites.
