Eun-Joo Min (EDT), Mathias Lilleengen (EDT) Collection of WIPO Domain Name Panel Decisions

Annotation

The Arbitration and Mediation Center of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO Center), through its Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), offers services for the resolution of commercial disputes arising out of bad-faith registration and use of Internet domain names corresponding to trademark rights. This very useful book reprints forty-five UDRP decisions rendered by WIPO Center panels between 2000 and 2003, clearly illustrating the major substantive issues and procedural mechanics of the UDRP The decisions have been selected on the following criteria:- principal substantive issues resolved by WIPO panels;- typical procedural issues arising in UDRP cases; and- diversity of domain names, parties and panelists.This approach offers practitioners a good representation of the growing jurisprudence in this important area as well as guidance and insight into how to file or defend a WIPO UDRP case. Practical features include key issues listed at the top of each decision, a chronological index, a topical index of issues covered by the decisions, and annexes providing legal source materials and the WTPO Model Complaint and Response.This collection will be of great value to trademark holders, in-house counsel, intellectual property and IT law practitioners, Internet entrepreneurs, domain name registrants, and students of dispute resolution.
