Ryanair critic wins web battle

Posted by Graeme Wearden

Michael Coulston, who set up a web site critical of Ryanair's business practices, has won a battle to keep www.ryanaircampaign.org.

Coulston uses the site to tell Ryanair customers how they can complain about poor service.

Ryanair had complained that the domain name infringed on its trademarks and should therefore be transferred into Ryanair's possession. However,
the World Intellectual Property Organization has now rejected this claim.

Ryanair had previously managed to force Coulston to hand over control of Ryanair.org.uk.

Bit late with a reply to this, but well done to Michael Coulston! - i think that's good news. And surely Ryanair - and every other company for that matter - should take on board (no pun intended) the feedback and improve their service?...

It's no rocket science you know...
