Apple has taken control of a domain called iphone5.com

Apple has taken control of a domain called the iphone5.com, which was a site that focused on providing the latest iphone 5 rumours.  A few weeks ago Apple filed a complaint to the world Intellectual Property Organization, claiming that this website has stolen Apples intellectual property. According to The Next Web  the world Intellectual Property Organization has now made its judgement by siding with Apple.  Now the  website has been taken over and transferred to a Corporation Service Company, this is a company that specialises in brand protection and is apparently in the employ of Apple.

 This type of action taken by Apple is not new, the company has taken action to protect its brand names in the past on a number of occasions. The domain  iPods.com was a classic example of this move by Apple. But Apple have not always opposed certain domain names that carry its trademarks.
