It's not spelt correctly.
The correct spelling is Victoria's Secret.
Therefore it is mising an S.

I always thought it was victoria secret , the .com redirects to victorias secret so seems i am wrong about this ome

Australia has an entire state named Victoria with a few million residents and lots of secrets! Why on earth is this domain being protected for an international clothing brand!
Added to this if we start agreeing that the brand "Victoria's Secret" needs protecting via this list instead of the WIPO process then why are smaller trademarks not protected by this same list? Why don't they just run the entire ATMOSS list through there?

I agree Anthony. There was a version of this that made it past the WIPO claim too from memory. Was it VictoriasSecrets?

Yeah the big brand lost out to a tiny brothel in Australia who they tried to bully with a WIPO.

Take a look at the list and then try to explain why thrashmetal.com.au, sydneyseoprofessionals.com.au are on the list?
When you are done, try to figure out why sydneyseoprofessionals.com.au is on the list but it is also currently registered with a domain running on it and a last modified date of 03-Oct-2012 00:35:32 UTC?

I was surprised but this comment so I checked and over 13% (approx. 315) of the domains on the list are registered. Now I am even more confused than ever by the purpose of this list.

I also don't understand the purpose of AUDA's mis-spelling list. The organisations that the mis-spelled domains pertain to are clearly big enough and rich enough to register all the combinations that AUDA has defined for them. It would make it much simpler than someone monitoring infringing registrations.
