‘Lambo’ Website Acquired in Bad Faith, 9th Circ. Affirms

Sterne Kessler successfully secured a win for client Automobili Lamborghini SpA at the Ninth Circuit where a three-judge panel affirmed a lower court’s decision that the registration of the online domain “lambo.com” was done in bad faith under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.

Director Nicholas Nowak of the firm’s Trial & Appellate Practice Group spoke to Law360 on the recent win stating the client, “takes protecting [its] brand seriously.”

Nowak continued, “It’s a great win for them, and they are very pleased with the result.”

Lamborghini is also represented by Lauren Watt, director in Sterne Kessler’s Trial & Appellate Practice Group.
