My understanding of the IP challenge on biz is that the person challenged is
merely warned that there is an ip registration for that name - correct ? It
is then up to the claimant to proceed with a challenge.
There has been no validation of the claim or the IP accuracy ?
For example I have been challenged on australia.biz - clearly frivolous -
how can someone have IP on a country name - and the others are standard
dictionary words.
My defense is that for all of the domains I have pre-reg I either have a
business name in place being used, or some other interest - ie plans for a
site to use the name. None of the names are, to my knowledge, the names of
companies.
If I proceed with these then there is no cost that I will be up for is there
to retain the registration - other than defending a UDRP type challenge ?
The rules state that all fees are to be borne by the claimant
