A handful of generics are hit with UDRPs, and one previous complainant called me…
I’ve noticed a handful of seemingly generic domain names get his with UDRPs over the past few days.
Here are some that have hit my radar:
southpaw.com
qiq.com
verb.com
emoney.com
There can always be extenuating circumstances behind a UDRP filing, such as domain theft. But on the face of it these look like losing cases.
That brings up something interesting that happened over the weekend. A first for me.
Someone who had filed a frivolous UDRP complaint that I recently wrote about called me. I had raked his company over the coals for filing a case it couldn’t win, so I figured the person was calling to complain. Instead, he thanked me for explaining why the case was frivolous. As is often the case with UDRPs, he got bad advice from a lawyer.
It’s understandable that a complainant isn’t an expert on UDRP and its requirements. Perhaps it’s the complainants’ lawyers we should be blasting more than the complainant itself.

What’s the matter with you, and who’s going to pay for the lawyer’s kids’ private school, huh?

“he thanked me for explaining why the case was frivolous. As is often the case with UDRPs, he got bad advice from a lawyer.”
I have said it for many years, I figure many of the frivolous cases are caused by lawyers misleading TM owners just to generate legal fees or justify their existence as legal counsel.

One thing is omitted from the Icannwiki write-up.
He was also a pope. John is always full of surprises.

I believe there is a photo out there where he defied nature. John urinated into the wind (and succeeded?).
Cesar says
Yes, and It was Papa and has an incredible record of successful defenses
