Domain Name Disputes

The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Proceeding (UDRP) is similar to an arbitration proceeding and was developed to resolve disputes involving domains that contain terms that may be owned by others. The domain will be transferred from a registrant if it contains a trademark, was not registered for a legitimate purpose, and was registered in bad faith. Bad faith is determined by the intentions of the registrant. We can:

• initiate UDRP proceedings
• represent either registrant’s or complainants before a UDRP administrative panel
• negotiate settlements of UDRP proceedings
• take disputes out of the UDRP and into federal court when necessary
