Cancellation has always been a very unpopular remedy under the UDRP, the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, and my analysis of last year’s cancelled domain names shows why I think trademark owners should never pursue this result.
I took a look at all of the domain names that were cancelled via UDRP decisions last year, in 2021, and – although there weren’t many of them – I found that as of this recording, in August 2022, about 38 precent of them were being used in some way, which indicates these domain names were re-registered even after they were cancelled as the result of UDRP proceedings.
