Ingersoll-Rand Co. brought a domain name transfer action against the registrant of the domain names ingersoll-rand.net, ingersoll-rand.org and ingersollrand.org, who used them to link to web sites displaying pornographic content. WIPO found Gully acted in bad faith by not responding to Ingersoll's offer to purchase the names and also noted that "tarnishment" was likely to have occurred.
