When domain name conflicts between manufacturers and distributors rest on contractual disputes over the use of the trademark owners' marks, ICANN UDRP panels have frequently denied relief. 

See generally the cases cited and discussed in Western Holdings, LLC v. JPC Enterprise, LLC d/b/a Cutting Edge Fitness and d/b/a Strivectin SD Sales & Distribution, D2004-0426 (WIPO August 5, 2004) by Mark Partridge as sole panelist.

The decision summarizes other ICANN UDRP decisions involving contractual disputes. The Complainant tends to prevail if there is a clear contractual prohibition against the use of the mark as a domain name. But that is not typically so if the contractual prohibition is unclear, for reasons more fully explained in the Western Holdings decision.
