Netflix KPop Demon Hunters Domain Dispute: Studio Finally Wins Back Its URL
Netflix successfully won back the KPopDemonHunters.com domain through a WIPO trademark dispute after it was taken by a cybersquatter.
A record-breaking hit, but no website to show for it. Netflix's animated sensation KPop Demon Hunters has dominated streaming charts and award ceremonies, but until now, the studio didn't even own the primary web address for its brand. Fans looking for KPopDemonHunters.com were met with an empty void rather than an official fan site.
How the Netflix KPop Demon Hunters Domain Was Recovered
According to Domain Name Wire, Netflix recently won a trademark dispute against a German individual, Sanchit Sood. The battle was fought under the ICANN Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). Surprisingly, the domain had been registered just three days after the film's release back in June 2025, suggesting Netflix was slow to secure its digital footprint.
A Clear-Cut Case of Cybersquatting
To win the UDRP case, Netflix had to prove that the domain was identical to their trademark and registered in bad faith. Since the registrant didn't even respond to the dispute and the URL didn't redirect to any legitimate site, the WIPO panelist ruled this as cybersquatting. The registrar is now expected to transfer the domain to Netflix shortly.
