Last week, we reported that Apple had filed a claim with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to gain control of the iPhone5.com domain.
The Next Web reports that the
status of the case, which was 'Case Active', has changed to "Terminated"
on WIPO's website, indicating that Apple has won the dispute.
The domain is now in control of brand protection firm Corporation Service Company on Apple's behalf. iPhone5.com which used to host a discussion forum for iPhone 5, now shows a blank page.
iPhone 5 has been one of the popular
monikers for Apple's next generation iPhone. So the news that Apple had
filed a claim with WIPO to gain control of the iPhone5.com domain had
sparked off speculations that Apple may be pursuing it in preparation
for the next generation iPhone launch later this year.
It remains to be seen if Apple will call the next generation iPhone - iPhone 5, iPhone 6 (as its the sixth generation iPhone) or the new iPhone (like the new iPad).
