I have gone through this before and it can be a lengthy process. I am not agreeing with either side but from what I read Shap does have a great case IMHO
Who says? WIPO UDRP says.

A TM does not automatically give you rights over a domain name.

If the complainant can't prove the domain was registered in bad faith it usually doesn't go much further, look up recent arbitration decisions: arena.com ashley.com jumpro.com FullTerm.com pokerhost.net...

I also know the process, for having been on the receiving end of a corporate bully.
