Abstract

The article explores the future trajectory of the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), outlining three potential evolutionary pathways: an autonomous UDRP distinct from national laws, an Americanized UDRP aligned with U.S. legal frameworks, or a cosmopolitan UDRP influenced by diverse national laws. Each pathway has significant implications for the UDRP's role in resolving domain name disputes globally.
