LENO WINS RIGHTS TO WEB ADDRESS

U.S. comedian JAY LENO has won the right to take control of a website bearing the name of his new talk show.
The former The Tonight Show presenter was stunned to discover TheJayLenoShow.com was already taken and called in the United Nations' World Intellectual Property Organization to investigate.
The domain name was registered in 2004 by Texas resident Guadalupe Zambrano, who used the page to direct visitors to his own real estate website.
But officials at the United Nations body have ruled Zambrano had no legitimate reason for setting up the web address and have ordered him to transfer ownership to Leno.
The funnyman's new programme is due to be launched in September (09). He stepped down from The Tonight Show in May (09) and was replaced by Conan O'Brien.
