Two separate searches for the term ‘ukm’ using the WHOIS database reveal that four out of five of the generic top level domains, only one registrant has a legitimate interest to use ‘ukm’ for its domain name. Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia should submit a complaint under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Proceedings (UDRP) to recover the relevant domain names |
