arbitration forum. |

UDRP Discussion
|
Introduction to the UDRP including Frequently Asked
Questions (and Answers) about the UDRP |
|
Defense Against The Dark Arts
|
Fan protection information site stemming from AOL-Time
Warner's full scale war on the young fans of Harry Potter. Clearly written with almost
zero legalese. |
|
Nolo press
|
Nolo article on domain names and trademark law. Note
the Domain Name Rights Coalition mentioned at the bottom of the article was deeply
useless. |
|
MyPalm.com
|
Discussion board about the owner of MyPalm defending
the domain against Palm. Inc. lawyers. See also the Register article |
|
save.Unicom.com
|
Notes by the owner of Unico.com in defending his domain |
|
Tobacco.com
|
Another successful defense for the domain name, tobacco.com.
The Respondent is kind enough to provide jpegs and pdfs of his response. The author
of the Response takes a number of liberties and an accusatory tone that I felt may
have hurt their case. |
|
Rough
Justice
|
Dr. Milton Mueller's analysis of the UDRP. Conclusion:
the Panel needs to keep the scope and fairness in check. Since he is registered as
a panelist at WIPO, I believe Dr. Mueller is available if you need a Respondent advocate
on your three-member panel. |
