Tradmarks and the future of disputes

About 80 percent of UDRP cases are decided in favor of the plaintiff; the actual numbers vary between resolution providers. How you view that figure depends on where you stand on the issue.

What's in a name? Not much, according to Shakespeare. But today, the answer is "plenty" -- especially when you're talking about the intersection of domain names with trademarks.

Like everything else, domain names are double-edged swords: you either hold them or they stab you.

Hope people could figure out faster ways to resolve it w/o having to go to court......sheesh....

I believe 90% of the domains can be purchased with few $ or few thousend Dollars, any company that can not afford to pay few thousend $ to buy out UDRP should not even listen to them and if they can efford to pay, than it is only greed.
