 Television Broadcasts Ltd. v Tony Lee - Case No. 102523
The Complainant has operated a television station in Hong Kong since 1967 and, since 1993, a joint venture cable TV station in Taiwan known as TVBS, which stands for TVB Super Channel.
Further, the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s mark because the ccTLD ‘tv’ is commonly used to convey a connection with television, the very field of the Complainant’s endeavour.
There is no dispute that the Complainant’s satellite television service, TVBS Asia, has been made available to residents of Malaysia since October 1999 and that the disputed domain name was registered on June 1, 2000.
