"Re-Registrations" are NOT "Registrations" of a Domain under ACPA

According to a recent Ninth Circuit Ruling (see Gopets Ltd. v. Edward Hise, 08-56110 (9th Cir. 2011)), "Re-Registrations" of a Domain (i.e. renewal, sale of all rights) is not a “Registration” within the meaning of § 1125(d)(1) of the ACPA.
