UDRP defense
UDRP defense: keep the domain you rightfully own
A UDRP complaint is not a verdict. Panels regularly deny complaints against generic names, prior registrations and legitimate businesses. Westmore helps domain owners assess the threat and defend on the record.

RDNH strategy

Why it matters
Domain investors and businesses lose names they could have kept by defaulting or filing thin responses. A documented defence, built from how panels have actually ruled, changes outcomes.

Frequently asked questions
How do I defend a UDRP complaint?+
File a timely response that rebuts each element, prove your rights or legitimate interests with evidence and show you did not register or use the domain in bad faith.
What are common UDRP defences?+
Registration before the trademark existed, generic or descriptive use, a bona fide business offering, fair use criticism sites and lack of targeting of the complainant.
What is reverse domain name hijacking?+
A finding that the complainant brought the case in bad faith, for example to pressure a legitimate owner. It is recorded in the published decision.
Can I go to court after a UDRP?+
Yes. A losing respondent can file in a court of competent jurisdiction within 10 business days of a transfer decision to suspend it.
