Top 100 DJ – Martin Garrix wins WIPO Case for Garrix.com –

I came across a decision published on WIPO.int that MGLM Holdings B.V. has won the WIPO for the domain name Garrix.com

MGLM Holdings B.V. is a company owned by Martin Garrix for those who don’t know is a dutch DJ that has ranked number one on DJ Mag‘s Top 100 DJs list for three consecutive years—2016, 2017, and 2018. His most known singles are “Animals”, “In the Name of Love” and “Scared to Be Lonely”. He is also known for his pseudonyms “Ytram” and “GRX”.

Martin is only 25 years old and a multimillionaire with a net worth of around $25,000,000 USD, The domain name Garrix.com is parked at present and noted for sale by its current owner who has been asked to transfer the domain name to MGLM Holdings B.V. via the WIPO Proceedings under case number – D2021-3826

The details of the WIPO case have yet to be revealed so it shall be interesting to read once published if Martin Garrix attempted to acquire the domain name or if he choose to go straight for a WIPO.

The DJ already owns and uses the domain name MartinGarrix.com, which he appears to have been in ownership since its first registration in 2011, so why he needs Garrix.com?

We are unsure but I don’t know if this domain should have been handed over so easily?

We can see on Archive.org that the domain has been registered and dropped many times going all the way back to 2004, it most recently was dropped in 2015 and then picked up by its current owner Yungu Jo of South Korea who does appear to have lost another 4 domains also via WIPO dating back to 2014 which might have gone in Martin Garrix favor with the single panelist Rothnie, Warwick A.

What are your thoughts? Should Martin Garrix have been won the WIPO case for Garrix.com? Will he go after Ytram.com or GRX.com next?
