Respond to a UDRP complaint

A UDRP complaint is not a verdict. With a clear record of your rights and legitimate interest, and evidence that rebuts the bad-faith case, a good-faith registration can be kept. The response window is short — usually about 20 days — so the priority is to preserve evidence and answer on the merits.

FAQ

How long do I have to respond?

Usually about 20 days from the date the provider notifies you of the complaint. Missing it risks a default decision, so move quickly.

What makes a strong response?

A clear record of your rights and legitimate interest in the name, and concrete evidence rebutting the claim that you registered and use it in bad faith.
