How many UDRP cases has Frank Schilling beaten?

Frank Schilling – Name Administration founder.

Frank Schilling’s Name Administration recently won a UDRP that was filed against the domain Torneo.com.

The 16 year old domain was successfully defended by IP attorney, John Berryhill, who has performed the same function several times in the past.

During the discussion of this incident, we wondered how many UDRP cases has Frank Schilling or his company won.

Frank Schilling’s response in a comment, was rather shocking, and it’s worth dedicating a post to:

“I think this is Name Administration Inc.’s 37th UDRP win in 15 years.

The company has had 1 inequitable loss which was overturned in the courts. The optics of trademark law are open to interpretation – one man’s trademark is another woman’s generic term.

Culturally (in the case of Name Administration) there has never been a malevolent desire to capitalize on marks, just a wish to administer a great portfolio of meaningful, resonant Internet real estate.

This is a World record the company would rather not hold. It’s an unfortunate reality that running a big-box store brings you great customers and less desirable people who think they can walk in and take your stuff for free.”

Sharing such information on UDRP cases is valuable, as domain investors can assess their options when hit with a frivolous claim, served with a C&D or have a UDRP filed against.
