Chicago2016.com in UDRP

As Chicago wages its battle to host the 2016 Olympics, it also finds itself scrapping over a valuable piece of cyberspace: the domain name of Chicago2016.com.

The bid team along with the U.S. Olympic Committee are trying to wrest that online address from Stephen Frayne Jr., a 29-year-old MBA student.

...

"We certainly see Chicago2016.com as the logical default domain for our site, and we believe having someone else control it is misleading for people seeking information about Chicago's bid," said Patrick Sandusky, a spokesman for Chicago 2016, a moniker protected by trademark.

Chicago, which uses Chicago2016.org as its official web site, is seeking to win control of Chicago2016.com through a complaint filed with an international arbitration organization. A decision could come as soon as Monday.

...

"Chicago 2016 falls right in line with the names Olympic committees have used for years," said Jeff Handelman, chairman of the trademark litigation group at Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione. "If what the gentleman is doing is duplicating a well-established naming pattern that Olympic committees have used for so many years, I find that interesting. I wonder what the intent is."

Does anyone have information or links to previous legal cases regarding sydney2000.com, athens2004.com, or beijing2008.com, or even london2012.com.

Did those names have a court story behind them?

Thanks in advance.
