The Economist won't get domain name
After reviewing a claim filed in November, The World Property Organization has denied The Economist's request to the domain name, TheEconomist.com, according to reports from Folio.
Right now the magazine's site is economist.com and officials from the magazine argued that the domain name they were seeking is owned by an individual with no legitimate interest.
Theeconomist.com was registered in November 1996 by Jason Rose, owner of Maryland-based TE Internet Services. The site has been used as a tribute site to former U.S. chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan, but its content has not been updated since April 2002.
Rose, according to WIPO, denies that he had knowledge of The Economist magazine in 1996 when he registered the name.
