UPI Sues Greek Websites Over Domain Names

United Press International has sued a couple of Greek websites in federal court—UPIPhoto.org and UPIPhoto.com—for cybersquatting and trademark infringement.

UPIPhoto.com is actually the website for an organization that calls itself United Photographers International and it’s just what it sounds like, a group of international photographers sharing their photos. It’s been active for years. UPI owns the domain UPIPhotos.com, with an added ‘s’ and they say the likelihood of confusion is too great. UPIPhoto.org is unused at the moment.
