[QUOTE="Andrew Allemann, post: 2257670"] [B]Two cases show why you need competent counsel to file a UDRP.[/B] A good number of domain names are lost via UDRP when the domain name owner fails to put up an adequate defense. The domain name owner fails to hire a qualified domain name attorney who understands the ins and outs of UDRP. I’m also baffled when complainants drop the ball in a UDRP, either by not filing a strong case or by filing one that has no chance of winning. Two National Arbitration Forum decisions came across today that are good examples. First, Canadian internet company/cable company Shaw Communications [URL='http://www.udrpsearch.com/naf/1666578']lost a UDRP[/URL] it filed against F*ckShaw.com. The domain owner didn’t respond, but Shaw’s Director of Intellectual Property failed to even make a [I]prima facie[/I] case that the domain owner lacked rights or legitimate interests in the domain name. The second case was for makerplace.com. In this case, complainant MakerPlace, Inc. literally [URL='http://www.udrpsearch.com/naf/1671961']admitted[/URL], “We believe Mr. Salmon originally registered the domain incorrectly but in good faith.” Makerplace might have a claim against the domain owner, but not one that’s right for UDRP.
