Doug Isenberg of The GigaLaw Firm will speak at the upcoming WIPO Conference in Geneva to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).
According to WIPO, the daylong event, on April 23, 2025, “will bring together Internet stakeholders to share and exchange their inputs and experiences” and “will include a retrospective on the UDRP, taking stock of jurisprudential trends and looking ahead to the planned review of the UDRP by ICANN.”
Doug’s session, titled “The UDRP in Numbers,” will be moderated by Leena Ballard, WIPO’s senior legal officer for its Internet Dispute Resolution Section, and will also include Deanna Wong of DeLab Consulting in Hong Kong.
As a longtime UDRP panelist for WIPO (and also a panelist for all of the ICANN-approved UDRP service providers), Doug has written hundreds of domain name dispute decisions over the past 20+ years. At the WIPO conference, he will speak about some of the trends he has seen during this time and will also draw on his experience as a frequent representative of parties in UDRP proceedings as well as publisher of “GigaLaw’s Domain Dispute Digest,” a quarterly report about domain name dispute statistics.
