WIPO Domain Name Decisions

Anyone interested in the legal issues about domains and trademarks should read the WIPO proceedings at:

http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/

At the bottom of the page, you can read decisions and search for specific types of cases.

I highly recommend that you subscribe to the daily updates by clicking:

When you read the cases on a daily basis, you'll realize how inconsistent the decisions are, due to the human element that different aribiters must decide each case.

I've been keeping up with the decisions since the UDRP started in 2000. I have some commentary in my site:

Like Dan, I've been following UDRP decisions since 2000. Cases, summaries, articles, etc are available at http://www.udrplaw.net for those interested.

Another good source of information is Bret Fausett's Icann.blog.us.

UDRPLaw.net

UDRPLaw.net is a good site... but I have a question. Recently you posted an announcement there that the contact email address for the site had changed because you changed ISPs. How come you don't just use an email address within the udrplaw.net domain itself, so it doesn't have to change every time you change ISPs? I do that with my sites, using webmaster@[whatever domain].

re: UDRPLaw.net and Dan.info sites

Thank you both for posting to this thread. Both sites are extremely valuable sources of legal information for the domain community. I will be spending a lot of time at both sites.

Dan,

The reason that I haven't set up an e-mail address on udrplaw.net is time & money. I know it doesn't cost all that much to add an e-mail address to the site, but it costs enough that I have delayed doing so. I've also been a little occupied with other projects and I've never gotten around to adding it. I know it makes sense, but that project is still hovering on the "to-do" list.

Thanks for the reminder though.

If your hosting provider charges extra to let you have email in your own domain, then get a better hosting provider... I use Dreamhost, myself, and it lets me have a large number of POP mailboxes and an unlimited number of alias addresses, all with no extra charge.
