[E-trademarks] Registrant offer to transfer domain after commencement of UDRP action

[Doug Isenberg]

UDRP Rule 17 ("Settlement or Other Grounds for Termination") provides a
process for transfers as you describe, without having to wait for a
decision.  Typically, both parties sign the UDRP provider's settlement form
and submit it to the provider, which then instructs the registrar to
transfer the domain name within two business days.

Subject: [E-trademarks] Registrant offer to transfer domain after
commencement of UDRP action

 

I don't routinely handle UDRP actions but took one on for a pro bono client
and, somewhat strangely, we got an offer from the registrant to transfer the
domain after the registrant got notice of the action.  The registrar has
locked the domain pursuant to the initiation of the action, so presumably
the registrant can't generate a transfer authorization code, so we just need
to see through the UDRP process and get the resulting transfer (assuming we
win).  

 

Do any of the UDRP/domain name gurus on this listserv (I see you Marc and
Doug) have other thoughts about safe ways to obtain the transfer sooner? 

 

Many thanks for any general guidance!
