Judge Judy on the WIPO panel.

Popular TV personality, Judge Judy, is viewed by millions of faithful followers on the syndicated show by the same name.

Impressed by her decades long ability to settle disputes, the WIPO officials have invited Judge Judy to join an elite group of WIPO panelists that adjudicate domain UDRP cases.

“Judge Judy has provided year of expert judgements in cases that are far more serious than a UDRP, and with the recent retirement of several panelists at the WIPO, we are in need of such expertise,” said Boris Johnson of the IPO WIPO subcommittee.

At first, Judge Judy will most likely be appointed to handle cookie-cutter domain disputes, such as the numerous Yoyo Email Ltd. UDRP cases; in the near future she will also handle multi-million dollar UDRPs that involve .com domains.

“We are excited to have Judge Judy join the panelist group at the WIPO, and part of the process will be recorded and televised,” said Boris Johnson.

If you are a Judge Judy fan, the UDRP twist is expected to air in the 2016 or 2017 seasons, after she has cracked a few domain cases.
