UDRP response

Prepare a strong UDRP response before your 20-day deadline

Why it matters

Most UDRP respondents who lose never filed a response. A clear, documented response that answers each element is the single most important thing a domain holder can do.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to respond to a UDRP complaint?+

Normally 20 days from the date the proceeding commences, as set by the UDRP Rules. Providers can grant limited extensions in some circumstances.

What should a UDRP response include?+

A rebuttal of each of the three elements, evidence of your rights or legitimate interests, the history of your registration and use and, where justified, a request for a finding of reverse domain name hijacking.

Can I win a UDRP as a respondent?+

Yes. Panels deny complaints where the respondent shows a legitimate interest, generic use or a registration that predates the trademark.

Do I need a lawyer?+

It is strongly recommended. Westmore's draft is designed for attorney review and is informational, not legal advice.
