UDRP Does non-response incur any fees on the registrant?

[pb]

I've been reading on the subject and I know what happens when the registrant doesn't respond to a UDRP filing, but in such a case, if the panel decides against the registrant and orders transfer of the domain, do they, or can they, also incur any legal fees on the registrant?

What happens if a Response is not filed or not filed on time?

If the Respondent does not file its Response (including any payment that may be required) by the applicable deadline, the Respondent will be considered in default. Despite the Respondent's default, the WIPO Center will proceed to appoint the Administrative Panel. The Panel will be informed of the Respondent's default. It will decide the dispute based on the information available to it and may draw such inferences as it deems appropriate from the Respondent's failure to submit a timely Response.

Not in the UDRP process itself, no.

A UDRP proceeding does not prevent the TM claimant from separately suing the registrant.
