In reviewing the decisions of panels of the NAF during the last 6 months, it appears more and more likely, that if you are a trademark holder complaining against a domain name registrant, your chances of prevailing are extremely favorable. This is, of course, bad news for the average domain name investor.
This is our Semi-Annual Report of those panelists who have Denied more Complaints than all other Panelists at NAF. With one exception, the vast majority (if not all) of the panelists at NAF favor the Complainant. Our analysis consists of 3 lists that we have compiled for your use. The first list is the TOP 10 Panelists for the past 6 months. The second list is the TOP Panelists for the past 12 months. The third list is the TOP 10 ALL TIME PANELISTS at the National Arbitration Forum.
