We had a similar result when a big U.S. defense company (Kratos) tried to take our open source project's domain name: open.space

The panel ruled in our favor, that their OPENSPACE trademark is probably invalid because it is descriptive.

Just in case you didn’t notice: open.space seems inaccessible at the moment and the error page points to https://developers.cloudflare.com/support/troubleshooting/ht...

Tangentially www.openspace.ai also exists.

but you changed the name anyways, why?

This UDRP panel only had jurisdiction over domain name disputes. They still threatened going to court over trademark and we had more important things to do. The new domain is https://ScaleRF.com/
