What happened
An early character-domain recovery, decided 20 April 2000.
Outcome
Domain <pochacco.com> transferred to Sanrio. Sole panelist Jeffrey M. Samuels found the domain legally identical to POCHACCO, no legitimate use, and bad-faith passive holding.
The legal nuance
One of a pair of same-day Sanrio UDRP wins by the same panelist.
