European Wax Center melts Florida Man’s fraudulent domain names

As of 07/08/2021

European Wax Center is a popular name in the United States. The hair removal and body care firm currently has more than 800 locations across the US. However, the Wax company had to go to a legal battle with a Florida man over two domain names. Twice! 

As reported by Reuters, two domain names namely: EuropaWaxCenter.com and EuWaxCenter.com were registered by a Florida man. ‘European Wax Center‘ is a registered trademark of the European Wax Center and the domain names clearly violated its legal trademark rights. 

In fact, a Miami court had already given a decision in the favor of the Wax company. However, the Florida man went to US Circuit Court where he faced defeat again. The Court stated that domain names were confusingly similar to the registered trademark of European Wax Company. 

European Wax Company recently went public, through which it gained $180 Million. It is present at the NASDAQ with the ticker ‘EWCZ‘. In fact the share prices’ soared 11.8% more than their IPO. An enthusiastic reception indeed. The Company also disclosed its future plans of expanding in a wider scale in the next 15 years, to a figure close to 2000 locations!

Looks like the Wax company is on a roll!
