What type of relief can be obtained through a UDRP proceeding?
There can be three outcomes: 1) the trademark owner wins and the domain name is transferred to the trademark owner; 2) the trademark owner wins and the domain name is canceled; or 3) the domain name owner wins and keeps the domain name. There is no appeal under the UDRP process, but you can file a lawsuit if you believe your rights have been violated. If a timely lawsuit is filed (within 10 business days), there will be no action taken until the parties settle, the lawsuit is dismissed or withdrawn or there is a court order regarding the ownership of the domain name.
