To Struggle with UDRP — SAP Continues

To Struggle with UDRP — SAP Continues

Firm has lost 5 of last 15 decided cases.

Software giant SAP continues to struggle with its efforts to corral domain names through the UDRP Process.

Although it has won two thirds of its cases, as far as big complainants go SAP may as well have a failing record.

Sure, it wins most of the UDRP cases it files. But it loses more than most complainants.

The latest loss: SAPApps.com.

What makes this case (and some of the other losses) interesting is that the respondent was an SAP Partner. Respondent CoreSystems AG is an SAP Gold Partner.

Other recent losses by SAP include SAP-Microsoft.com, Unisap.com, Graphicsap.com, and sapresourcesgroup.com.

Of the 15 cases the firm has filed beginning in 2009 that have been decided, it has lost a shocking 5 complaints. This is a very poor record for a complainant.
