If you're a domain investor and not yet a member of @ICADomains, strongly consider it. The work ICA does is important and the entire community benefits. Plus, the annual event in Las Vegas last week is a great way to meet industry leaders and fellow investors.

Hard to believe that someone (& their lawyer @troutmanpepper ) thought it was a good idea to use the #UDRP to seize the beds .com domain name. They received an #RDNH finding for their trouble. (@Berryhillj handled the defense). One more example of the routine abuse of the UDRP.

It's not that the attorney who brought this abusive complaint is ignorant of IP law. He's a specialist in IP law (troutman.com/professionals/b…) who was recently recognized for his expertise in IP law (troutman.com/insights/troutm…). It's that there is no downside to abusing the #UDRP.

Thanks to the #UDRP, a panelist can order the transfer of a desirable domain name for the flimsiest of reasons - such as a Registrar placing an ad on a coming soon page without the domain owner's awareness. Yet when the UDRP is intentionally abused, there are no consequences.

Several #RDNH decisions discussed in this week's @ICADomains UDRP Digest. My comment asks what can be done about the problem of RDNH. In attempting to prevent one form of abuse - cybersquatting - the #UDRP created a new form of abuse - attempted domain name theft using the UDRP.

The perfume-oils .com decision is the second #RDNH decision issued this month against complaints brought by the law firm of NY state assemblyman @clydevanel. The first RDNH decision was in the dispute his firm brought against iWoman .com.
Another day, another incompetent cybersquatting case ift.tt/roMzilt

David Sterrett of Sterrett Law (@sterrettlaw) was found to have brought an abusive #UDRP complaint on zerocoder .com and that it was brought to harass the domain name owner. Sometimes a UDRP Panel offers one justification for finding #RDNH. This Panel offered seven.
