Arbitration on domain names is not court related, it is provided by WIPO

As far as I know, nginx.io (now is n.wtf <https://n.wtf/>), which
provides a third-party Debian nginx source, has been ruled to be using
the trademark in bad faith.
I'm sure freenginx.org will suffer the same fate.

In terms of the trademark issue, Redhat had a series of meetings with
the people at CENTOS, at which time they hammered out what belonged to
Redhat and what belonged to the world through the GPL. IANAL, but my
experience with various law suits is that one of the first questions
the judge is going to ask is "Did you attempt to negotiate a
settlement before hand?" If the answer is no, then the judge will
order some sort of negotiation or arbitration. Court room time is
precious, and it is cheaper to negotiate than to litigate.
Frequently, negotiation yields a "fair" solution.
