Calling for RDNH in a UDRP case is stupid and ego masturbation by the lawyer.

Why?

UDRP has no right to a reply brief. However, MANY panelists allow a reply if the complainant is accused of RDNH.

But, if you get an RDNH ruling, what do you actually win? NOTHING.

It feels good to get one. You get bragging rights. But you win absolutely nothing, yet you open the door to a supplemental filing being accepted.
