Student wins round in chicago2016.com fight

An international panel has sided with a 29-year-old MBA student in a dispute with the organizers of Chicago's Olympic bid over ownership of the Web name Chicago2016.com.

The World Intellectual Property Organization rejected an attempt by Chicago organizers and the U.S. Olympic Committee to wrest the Web site from Stephen Frayne Jr.

Frayne bought the site in 2004 and launched it last month as place for discussion about Chicago's Olympic chances. Olympic officials accused him of trademark infringement and so-called "cybersquatting," or holding a site in order to sell it later at a profit.

The official Chicago 1016 site is Chicago2016.org. It will take its case to federal court in the Northern District of Illinois.
