Jay Leno wins right to Web name for his new show

Filed under: — Aviran Mordo @ 4:33 am

Television host Jay Leno has won control of a Web address using the name of his new show.

The U.N.’s World Intellectual Property Organization says current owner Guadalupe Zambrano of Katy, Texas, will have to transfer the domain name - thejaylenoshow.com - to the comedian.

The agency says Zambrano failed to demonstrate he had a legitimate reason for registering the address five years ago while Leno was still hosting “The Tonight Show.”

Zambrano used the site to redirect Web surfers to his real estate business.
