Yahoo! News write about a UN report about the rise in ‘cybersquatting’. Now if only they specified who is the cybersquatter here, the original domain holders or the complainants

The U.N. copyright agency on Wednesday reported a 20 percent jump in “cybersquatting” complaints last year, coming mainly from top tech firms, trendy fashion brands, Hollywood stars and sports personalities. [...]

The agency registered 1,456 complaints for cybersquatting — or abusive registration of trademarks as Internet domain names — and the practice appears to be on the rise, said Francis Gurry, deputy director general of the World Intellectual Property Organization, or WIPO.[...]

In total, WIPO has received over 8,000 complaints, nearly half of which were filed by people or companies based in the United States. U.S. firms and individuals were also the targets of nearly half of all complaints. [...]

Since 1999, WIPO has decided in favor of the complainant in 84 percent of all cases.

So the complainant wins in most cases. Where are the statistics that show that the complainant are mostly large corporations and the targets of complaints often were individuals?

More facts from the press release:

Most disputes concern international domains, with .com again representing over 80% of names involved. However, in 2005 the Center also dealt with 44 cases involving country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). [...]

The Center’s new report, “New Generic Top-Level Domains: Intellectual Property Considerations”, recommends the introduction of a uniform preventive intellectual property protection mechanism in all new gTLDs, in order to complement the curative relief provided by the UDRP. The Report is available at http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/reports/newgtld-ip.
