Aimster Loses Domain to AOL 169

Posted by CmdrTaco on Saturday May 19, 2001 @02:04PM from the i-guess-that-isn't-totally-surprising dept.

mduell writes "The National Arbitration Forum (NAF) decided that the "AIM" in Aimster violates America Online's trademark and that Aimster must relinquish several Internet domain names with "AIM" in them to AOL."
