Netflix Wins Domain Battle for KPop Demon Hunters
14 Jan
Summary
- Netflix secured KPopDemonHunters.com after a trademark dispute.
- The domain was initially registered by an individual in Germany.
- The dispute was resolved through ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy.
Netflix has recently won a crucial trademark dispute, securing the domain name KPopDemonHunters.com. The animated film "KPop Demon Hunters," a massive streaming success since its release on June 20, 2025, prompted the need to acquire the corresponding web address.
Initially, the domain KPopDemonHunters.com was registered by an individual in Germany three days after the film premiered. Netflix filed a dispute through the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), specifically utilizing the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).
The arbitration panel, operating under the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), ruled in Netflix's favor due to the registrant's failure to respond and the clear evidence of cybersquatting, leading to the domain's transfer to Netflix.
