</span>I think is important guidance that making it clear that litigation is an available option at any time and that panelists are not required to stay or dismiss a UDRP/URS in favor of litigation. As an aside, while I have not seen such treatment following
a UDRP, I do note that in the DRS realm, post DRS litigation is prohibited by the decision in the Emirates case.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Your Comment 2. <span class="apple-tab-span">
</span>I think it may be important to the expert that IGOs affirmatively seek trademark-like protection under the Convention. In fact we may also point out they are of course free to formally register marks under national laws AND that they may also assert
common law t trademark rights in the context of a UDRP.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-tab-span"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">

</span>Excellent point. I think the question duplicates the 1st and should be deleted. Our only concern is the UDRP/URS context.
