The status shown on ICANN's website is the decision of the administrative
panel, and "subject to challenge by court action".
In a case where a panel awards a domain name to a complainant, if the
respondent (registrant) files a court action (and provides evidence to ICANN
that they have done so) within ten days, ICANN is supposed to delay the
transfer of the domain name until the court action is completed or dropped.
This is really the only defense a domain owner has if a dispute resolution
provider's decision is contrary to policy and law (and there are,
unfortunately, many cases of this in ICANN's short history). If a
complainant is able to circumvent this stated policy by going after a
registrar directly, all domain name owners are in real danger.
At least one appeals court has declined to enforce a "descriptive,
non-distinctive trademark":
