Domain Name Dispute Lawyer
Our domain name lawyers are experts in advising our clients
on issues pertaining to domain name laws. The laws applying to domain name
issues and domain name disputes are specialized and it is best to get advice
from an experienced domain name lawyer. As domain name attorneys, we regularly
advise our clients about complex domain name issues. Some of these include:
The Truth in Domain Names Act – This act forbids the use of
a misleading domain name to: 1) trick a person into viewing content that is
obscene; or 2) trick a minor into viewing material that is harmful to minors.
Our Internet lawyers and domain name attorneys are there to assist you should
you have legal problems with the authorities, your domain name registrar, or
your affiliates.
Trademark Infringement in Domain Names,
Cybersquatting
and
the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act – A Cybersquatter is a person
who registers a domain name in bad faith in violation of the rights of a
trademark owner. The Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) further
protects trademark owners. An action under the ACPA requires a showing that a
domain registrant had a “bad faith intent to profit” from the trademark owner’s
trademark and that the registrant registered or used a domain name identical or
confusingly similar to the trademark. Whether a cybersquatter has registered a
domain name containing your trademark or whether you are accused of being a cybersquatter, our domain name lawyers and cybersquatting attorneys are prepared
to defend your rights, protect your trademark, and assist you with all your
Internet Law or
Domain Name Law issues.
The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) -
The UDRP is an arbitration process which provides an alternative to the filing
of a lawsuit in order to facilitate the resolution of domain name disputes. To
prevail in an UDRP proceeding, a complainant must prove that 1) the domain names
are either identical or confusingly similar, 2) that the registrant has no
legitimate interest in the name, and 3) that the registration and use of the
domain name is in bad faith. The procedure is overseen by the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Effective UDRP legal
representation requires the expertise of an effective and experienced domain
name lawyer. Our domain name attorneys are experts in domain name law.
We are domain name lawyers, UDRP attorneys, cybersquatting
specialists, and domain name law experts.
