Domain name dispute about Fox in China

On November 29 2004, Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court heard the case brought by Beijing ChinaInternet Information Co., Ltd. (CI), seeking validation of its exclusive right to the two domain names, fox.com.cn and fox.cn.
In October 1997, CI registered the domain name fox.com.cn. It also registered fox.cn in March 2003. However, in May this year, US 20th Century Fox appealed to the China International Domain Name Dispute Settlement Center, requesting that CI transfer the two domain names to them. One month later, the Domain Name Dispute Settlement Center made their decision in favor of Fox.
