Microsoft has recently filed a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum,asserting legal rights over the domain name Microsoft-China.com.
Microsoft should expect the National Arbitration Forum order the domain name to be transferred,considering the company owns the "Microsoft" mark .
The National Arbitration Forum will examine if the domain name is confusingly similar to the trademarked name.Moreover,it will examine if the owner of the Microsoft-China.com domain name has rights over it and if the domain is being used in bad faith.Microsoft-China.com will be passed over to Microsoft if it falls under all three of these stipulations.
The case is still pending compliance checks with the National Arbitration Forum .
