Last week we published our annual TOP 10 LIST OF WIPO PANELISTS. This week we traditionally publish our Top 10 List of FORUM Panelists, but Panelists who deny complaints are few and far between. Also, for the second year in a row, there were only 8 Panelists who denied 3 or more complaints in the last 6 months.
