"I even created a new account on the Registrar for them to manage the name."
Oh, yes... this reminds me of the other funny little thing about dumb trademark attorneys. I mentioned elsewhere that these guys often don't know what a nameserver is, and so they don't bother to change the nameserver data after the name is theirs - essentially just picking up the tab for the registration while the original registrant continues to get the traffic.
Here's the other thing they never seem to figure out. If you are a reseller for a registrar, such as Enom or Tucows, the domain name will stay in your reseller account unless and until the transferee moves the domain name somewhere else. So, the consolation prize is that you continue to get your commission when they pay *you* to renew the domain name every year. Come renewal time, some of these folks go bananas when they find out that the effect of the UDRP was to make the complainant a customer of the respondent.
