Domain Name Dispute Masterclass Episode 3: How Long Does the UDRP Take?

The third episode of my masterclass on domain name disputes talks about timing issues under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and answers the question, “How long does the UDRP take?” You can watch the video below or on the GigaLaw YouTube channel.

As I explain in the video, the typical UDRP process lasts about two months from filing a complaint until reaching a decision and includes the following stages:

  1. Filing

  2. Verification

  3. Compliance

  4. Commencement

  5. Response

  6. Decision

  7. Transfer (if so ordered)

However, as I also discuss in the video, the length of a UDRP case can vary, especially if some common exceptions arise, such as administrative issues, supplemental filings, procedural orders, and settlement discussions.

Previous episodes in my domain name dispute masterclass answer the questions:
