Andrew Allemann of Domain Name Wire posted an interested article this morning showing that nearly 7,000 domains won through UDRP have expired. The article was based on the news release by Corporate Service Company, which stated:

“Of the domains that were won and handed back to the brand owner, almost 4,000 have been subsequently lapsed and are now available for registration. Also, an additional 3,000 domain names were lapsed after they were won and then re-registered - in some cases, by third parties. In fact, CSC found that several companies have disputed the same domain name up to three times because they continue to allow it to lapse.”
