 Cable News Network v. Elie Khouri et al
Accordingly, the Respondents conclude that Respondent Channel’s use of the “cnn” letter string in each of the disputed domain names is not confusingly similar to the Complainant’s CNN Mark; therefore, paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy is not met.
It is my understanding that CNN first learned of Elie Khouri when CNN’s domain name monitoring service reported that nearly a thousand domain names had been registered containing the CNN Mark followed by a geographic identifier.
The core of the Complainant’s business is its 24-hour news and information cable television network, “CNN”, which provides in-depth, live coverage of breaking news events and programs on business, finance, weather, sports, entertainment, health and science.

Complainant has submitted sworn statements to the effect that the service mark CNN was adopted as early as 1980 and the subsequent marks CNN Headline News and Headline News as early as 1982.
The evidence reflects that the illegal use of the marks in issue came to the Complainant's attention by an effort on the part of the Respondent to sell the infringing domain name to it for a sum well in excess of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs related to the name.
