Beanie Babies maker runs into an itty bitty domain problem
Ty's next Beanie product may be a secret, but its trademark and UDRP filings already named it.
The company has filed a cybersquatting dispute over a domain matching what looks like a new product line.
Trademark applications for the same name were filed first, which makes the bad-faith argument substantially easier to press.
The dispute is not about driving traffic; it is about clearing a name before launch.
For domain owners, this is a reminder that a pending trademark can turn a parked domain into legal exposure.
