Tags: Facebook, UDRP A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The UDRPPosted November 23rd, 2010Frank Shilling, is no stranger to UDRP proceedings. If one owns more domain names than there are stars in the sky, more than a few of them are likely to be fodder for litigation. It is probably fair to say that it’s unremarkable for anyone owning more than a few thousand domain names to do the UDRP dance a time or two. What is remarkable is when a domainer gets into the ring with a big company and wins. In Frank Shilling vs. The New York Times Company, The Doctrine of Laches saved the day. In the case for the domain in question, DealBook.com, the panel describes the invocation of Laches as “an equitable doctrine that may provide a defense when an adverse party has unreasonably delayed in asserting his rights to the detriment of the accused.” This certainly opens interesting possibilities for future UDRP proceedings.

NameSmash contributor, Doug Isenberg, an attorney with the GigaLaw Firm has assembled a brief Q&A to answer some of the most important questions about this new fee structure. Doug has counseled clients on domain name disputes since 1996 and serves as a domain name panelist at the Czech Arbitration Court and the World Intellectual Property Organization. Q: What is CAC’s reduced fee for UDRP complaints? A: For a UDRP complaint involving one to five domain names and a single panelist, CAC’s “initial” filing fee – as of March 15, 2010 – is 500 Euros (about $685). By comparison, CAC’s filing fee for an identical case previously had been 1,300 Euros (about $1,800). Thus, the new fee is about 62% lower than the old fee. Q: How does CAC’s new filing fee compare to the other UDRP service providers? A: At WIPO, the filing fee for a similar UDRP complaint is $1,500. At NAF, the filing fee for a UDRP complaint involving one or two domain names and a single panelist is $1,300.

The domain name was purchased at the TRAFFIC auction in New York in 2007 for $44,000 and hasn’t been used since then. That proved to be a problem for Hostess, since the panel was not persuaded the domain was registered in bad faith given no evidence.” For the full story, click here Tags: Chocodile, Ding Dong, Hostess, Hostess.com, T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction, Twinkie
