French tech conference LeWeb loses challenge for LeWeb.com domain name - Domain Name Wire

French tech conference LeWeb loses challenge for LeWeb.com domain name - Domain Name Wire: "many of its attendees reported confusion when they visited LeWeb.com by mistake. This is no surprise — typing .com instead of any other top level domain name is a common mistake.
The World Intellectual Property Organization panel denied the conference’s complaint, observing that LeWeb.com was registered well before the conference was founded. This would explain why it registered the .net version instead.
Another interesting note: LeWeb’s complaint says it has French trademarks for leweb2 leweb2.com leweb2.fr and leweb3 leweb3.com."
