The heart of the case was not whether a court - any court - can usurp ICANN's UDRP, but whether attempts to earn a declaratory judgment in the U.S. can be started under U.S. anticybersquatting law without the trademark holder making an ACPA threat.
This case could apply whether the trademark holder is outside the U.S. or not.
Jursidiction from a geographical standpoint is pretty much decided at the get-go in UDRP cases.
