Wayne Rooney takes action over WayneRooney.com

The England - Manchester United footballer has taken the current registrant of WayneRooney.com, a Mr Huw Marshall from Wrexham, to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) in Geneva in an attempt to recover his domain name. This follows hot on the heels of other high profile celebrities (including author and politician Lord Archer) who won back his dot.com. TomCruise.com is case is still pending review. Mr Marshal also registered WayneRooney.co.uk so we will see if Mr Rooney presses Nominet for a DRS review.
