Law Case Study on Domain Disputes

[wisdomtool]

I am doing a law case study on domain disputes, if anyone of you have such an experience, especially if it goes to WIPO, wonder if you can share it?

theres a few good examples on here, ask DNQuest, he recently went through a WIPO i believe, read through the legal section here, you'll see a few examples, also talk to Jberry if he has time, hes the man for this type of thing.

Start reading decisions. They are all at the WIPO site. A year shouldn't take you more than a couple weeks to read over. Maybe less if you just focus on the ones where the respondant actually fights. A great deal of them are not even fought by respondant.

As a matter of fact...I should do that. Start really cataloging them ...uhh...on second thought what for? I ain't a lawyer.

What kind exactly?

Hijacking?

Chargeback?

Trademark infringement?

How to get a new client's domain name from their ex-webmaster?

The more specific, maybe the better.

It's a well kept secret within the domain community, but there are a lot of cases where a domain owner will become possessed by an alien or demon, forced to transfer the domain against their will and then once the entity leaves the host, the domain owner completely represses the memory. Only years later will they start to remember the incident and by then they're usually too traumatized to pursue legal action. It's all very sad
