Overview

WIPO denied Avícola Villalobos and CMI’s request to shut down casoavicola.com, stating that the website exercised a legitimate right to publish public documents on legal disputes.

The complaint claimed the domain was being used maliciously to harm the companies’ reputation, but WIPO found no evidence of bad faith.

The decision reinforces the importance of transparency and access to relevant legal information.
