<p class="MsoNormal">Well said. Thank you for a comprehensive and detailed analysis needed to articulate the speciousness of comparing the limited time, evidence and rules of the summary UDRP and URS proceedings against each country’s extensive, multi-phase
judicial process using historic judge tempered rules, territory specific laws, discovery to present a robust and authenticated evidentiary record to an experienced, often appointed for life judiciary – and calling decisions in the latter an appeal to critique
the UDRP as flawed? More likely the UDRP/URS is abused as the test case for phase 1 to see what the defendant can get away with cheaply, and if it fails just tack on a dec action in an Article III court to see how much more can be leveraged until settlement.
No appellate judge would consider critiquing a decision below without the full record and neither should we. Your suggestions for the proper solutions to avoid focus on the wrong targets are equally compelling and should be given due consideration by every
member of this forum. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with some of the comments made by Scott and others, but want to add a few additional thoughts. Looking at appeals is not really going to prove much of anything. It certainly does not tell you whether a UDRP or URS decision was
correctly decided. First, the elements for establishing viable UDRP or URS cases are different in many respects from national laws that look at whether or not a domain name registration or use is infringing, and/or constitutes cybersquatting, unfair competition,
defamation or libel etc. The point is that court actions can include many other claims or defenses depending on the jurisdiction you are litigating in. Second, UDRP and URS cases are streamlined procedures with limited records or evidence. Thus, a case
could have been properly decided by a UDRP panelist based on the record presented, but on a full record could be seen otherwise. Sometimes Complainants or Respondents do a terrible job in laying out their cases and provide little to no evidence to support
their contentions. So the fact that a court action appeal resulted in a decision that is different from a UDRP or URS decision does not prove that the case was wrongly decided in the first instance. Third, you cannot conclude that an appeal is always being
filed because there is a viable case. There are ample examples of people filing appeals simply to force a settlement of the matter. For example, the cost of litigating in the US can be quite high and thus there are many examples of people filing questionable
appeals with contingency fee attorneys, not because they legally believe they have a strong case, but believe and hope that the other side will decide to a pay a settlement amount that is far less than the anticipated litigation costs. There are also many
examples of people who have registered domain names using addresses and registrars in jurisdictions where they can file cheap appeals to try to create problems for the parties who prevailed in the UDRP or URS -- and do so on the basis of securing pretextual
flimsy rights in such jurisdictions. Again this is done to try and force a settlement and not because the losing party had a viable case. Consequently, if a case on appeal settled and something was paid to a Respondent, it does mean anything as to whether
or not the UDRP or URS was correctly decided. It may simply mean that the Complainant found it cheaper and more expedient to pay off the Respondent as a way of avoiding a protracted and potentially costly litigation (i.e. a business decision). Lastly, I'm
not sure how all appeals are tracked, but there likely as many post UDRP or URS lawsuits filed by Complainants against Respondents where the Complainant lost the UDRP or URS. Again this does not mean that the UDRP or URS decisions were incorrect. There are
often cases where the UDRP or URS elements might not be established by the Complainant but there might be viable claims for cybersquatting, trademark infringement, unfair competition or defamation under national laws. Again the UDRP and URS are a streamlined
process for a subset of potential claims and there are many cases that fall outside of the scope of what the UDRP or URS are intended for. One good example, is a case where a respondent initially registered a domain name in good faith, but then only uses
it in bad faith to take advantage of another's trademark. Because the UDRP and URS have a conjunctive requirement of bad faith registration and use, the weight of decisions would rule against the Complainant and in favor of the Respondent. The Complainant
might then be able to file a viable ACPA or trademark infringement claim and prevail. In that situation, the UDRP decision would have been correct and the Court decision would likewise be correct. Similarly, there are many case that involve situations where
the identity of the registrant is unknown. This could be because the registrant uses bogus registration information (such as a fake name) or uses a privacy service that does not lift the privacy shield, etc. This might then result in a stilted record that
is put before a panel. In a subsequent court case, there could be a much more robust record to establish a claim. So again you could not draw conclusions as to whether or not a UDRP or URS was correctly or incorrectly decided.<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In sum, looking at appeals without knowing (i) what evidence was presented on the UDRP or URS levels, (ii) whether the original whois information was accurate, or (iii) what the motivation for filing the appeal might be, will not be very
probative. Similarly relying on blogs that discuss UDRP cases, or reviewing a case decision itself, does not necessarily tell you much if you don't know what was actually filed and considered by the Panel ruling on the matter. If you are going to get into
trying to review the underlying pleadings and in all instances, <i>a fortiori</i>, the brand owner claims -- both of which I do not support -- then it seems, for full purposes of a review, that you should also want to get full information on the actual parties
who registered the domain names to see if they gamed the system with fake names or privacy shields. You could certainly seek to obtain information on who paid for the registration of the domain names at issue, which might tell you who is really the party
behind a registration. Again, I am not in favor of doing any of these types of reviews, but if there are those who suggest we go down one route, then these other routes should be explored as well as they would certainly have a bearing on cases where Complainants
lost because a Respondent cleverly gamed the system. <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As for comments about the number of cases filed or appeals thereof, numbers alone don't say much. If the notion is to increase the number of filings, then perhaps a way to address that would be to change the standard for a UDRP or URS
from bad faith registration and use to bad faith registration or use and/or include trademark infringement as a basis of a claim, perhaps provide more meaningful relief in URS cases -- such as a transfer of the domain name, perhaps better access to accurate
Whois information or a workable mechanism to get accurate information on the actual registrant of a domain name.

are stipulated settlements with no court opinion or analysis of claims or any discussion of a legal basis for overriding the underlying UDRP result. To echo an earlier post, it is questionable what, if anything, can be drawn from the court sanctioned settlements
as the defendants in each case might have just lacked the resources or resolve to defend their UDRP success in an action in US federal court. The same would apply to the default judgment you obtained in Canada for <<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https://pupa.com&c=E,1,0rAB69sBOLWNOTa85JnBYHdAtQIazPf5kLzSkxBdJ9jHq65QYjgKEP2L7dI0XPnELQNPbMsuqqX1PDeY8YxR3PvMGpnCaObr7ppTshZ1gr7BccS6gviSstX2&typo=1">pupa.com</a>>

territoriality in an infringement action and relied upon the related website's territoriality carve out (tabs for only non-EU countries) to deny trademark infringement, consistent with French precedent, even in the presence of use of a mark in a .com global
