Slavik kicks Domain King's butt in domain battle over voyuer.com

As reported elsewhere, there was a battle of the domain titans Slavik Viner ("Xedoc") and "Domain King" Rick Schwartz ("Virtual Dates") over voyuer.com at the National Arbitration Forum:

http://www.arb-forum.com/domains/decisions/433802.htm

Complainant is Virtual Dates, Inc. (?Complainant?), represented by Howard Neu of Law Office of Howard Neu, P.A., 1152 North University Drive, Pembroke Pines, FL 33024.
[...]
Complainant?s additional submission consists of an Affidavit of Richard Schwartz...
[...]
The Panel is most disturbed by Complainant?s additional submission. The Schwartz declaration is unsupported by any evidence. The Schwartz Declaration contradicts the very trademark application on which Complainant basis its request for relief.
[...]
Complainant mischaracterizes the decision in The Cold War Museum v. Nicolas Jampol, FA96594 (Nat. Arb. Forum Feb. 8, 2001).
[...]
Schwartz? misleading affidavit...
[...]
Complainant has not established all three elements required under the ICANN Policy; the Panel concludes that relief shall be DENIED.

Slavik holds onto the domain, in victory. I told Domain King his trademark registrations were worthless, years ago. Glad to see that Slavik and the Panel agreed.

That makes 3 UDRP losses for "the King", the other 2 being for racingform.com and adtsucks.com, see:

Way to go, Slavik.
