as you would have mentioned that you also run the risk of a civil case for legal fees and damages once th UDRP is completed.
Well, no one asked if that risk can occur even after a UDRP is finished. I'd simply
answered what was exactly asked.
While I don't have as much direct experience as those who went through it first
hand, I passionately read and digest this, and have had the good fortune to talk
to lawyers with real-world experience in these things. I understand you want to
learn from those who really went through this, and I can maybe refer you to few
of them if you're interested.
But now that you mentioned it, lawyers have told me (I know, hearsay and all)
it's very rare for a complaining party to still pursue a lawsuit for damages even if
they win a UDRP. They'd sue if they
lost the UDRP.
If the one disputing your registration has a possibly frivolous case, heck, you
can actually pursue them for possible reverse domain hijacking. If, anyway.
