The US Planned Parenthood charity has won a court case regarding the www.plannedparenthood.com domain name. The US Second Court of Appeals upheld an injunction issued in March 1997 that prevented an anti-abortion activist from using the plannedparenthood.com domain. The charity sued on the grounds that the .com site confused consumers. By Spring 1999 the charity owned the plannedparenthood.com name. Read UK Fundraising’s coverage of charity domain name issues.
