The World Intellectual Property Organisation has denied Nintendo’s request to the URL wiiu.com. The domain belongs to an individual who registered it long before even the original Wii console existed. The World Intellectual Property Organisation did not cite a specific reason why the filing was denied. But it has emerged that the domain was actually up for auction a few days before Nintendo filed its complaint. Nintendo could have purchased it at a discounted price, but decided not to. It’s unclear whether they will ever own the domain.
