Morning Folks,
The gamble is still in their favor but our job is to skewer the folks so bad that any rational person or entity would think twice before trying to STEAL the property of others by abusing the system. These cases are all OUTRAGEOUS! Many of the attorneys were complicit with this scheme and they too should and are being outed.
I want to thank Nat Cohen for allowing me to republish his RDNH.COM list of ALL known Reverse Domain Name Hijacking cases. I am hoping to include the company and the attorney when I have some time. 2002 saw the most RDNH cases with 20. So far in 2013 we have 13 such findings as compared to 14 for all of 2012.
The list below has no emotion. Just the links and the facts. Leave it to me to provide the commentary.
What can you do? CIRCULATE!! Tweet, Like, Share! Or don't complain.

The ‘Reasons’ column is an attempt to identify and categorize the various circumstances cited by panels in support of a finding of RDNH.
Explanation of Reasons:
Bad Faith – No Evidence – the complaint provides no evidence of the respondent’s bad faith
Deception – deceptive behavior in complainant’s prior dealings with respondent
Delay - a long delay in bringing the complaint raises questions about whether complainant believes it has rights to the domain
Domain First – the registration of the domain predates trademark rights of the Complainant
Harassment - the primary motive of complainant appears to be to harass the respondent
Legitimate Interest – Complainant Knew – Complainant should have been aware that the respondent had a legitimate interest in the disputed domain
Misrepresentation – a misrepresentation to the panel, usually the omission of material information in violation of Complainant’s representation that the complaint is complete and accurate.
Plan “B” – the complainant is using the UDRP as an alternative acquisition strategy after commercial negotiations failed
Prior Court Case - Complaint brought to further burden respondent despite the matter already being the subject of a court case
TM – not valid – complainant did not have enforceable trademark rights
UDRP history – complainant has a history of filing unsuccessful UDRP complaints
