A
domain name dispute
is a conflict that arises between two companies that think they have preserved
the right to use the same name. If a domain name of the company is
illegitimately assigned by another company, then the company can apply
infringement charges on the company. And the domain dispute is the process
which is created to resolve the domain infringement.
There
are millions of websites on the internet which all have unique names. In such
crowded places, if you have found that someone is using your domain name for
which you have the trademark, then you are free to file a case against him. You
can also take the help of the UDRP dispute service provider to resolve the
domain theft.
Why domain dispute
happens?
There
are plenty of reasons why people are involved in this practice. And one of the
most significant reasons is money. If a company has already gained huge
acceptance in the market, meanwhile, there is a company that created its
website on the same domain name to mislead the audience is the common example
of the domain name dispute.
How does the domain
name dispute work?
If
you find out somebody is using your domain name, the very first thing you have
to do is file the UDRP to begin the dispute process. If UDRP finds its case of cyber
squatting and typo squatting or intention to use the domain name, then the
disputed domain is counted in bad faith. According to the domain name
legislation, some domain disputes are found to be bought in good faith.
This could occur when the owner of the website gives the reliability to use its
domain name.
Steps to resolve
domain dispute work:
- First, you need to submit a complaint to a dispute resolution service provider. Don't forget to pay the fee within ten days otherwise; your complaint will get canceled.
- As per the UDPR rule, you need to fill the response to the complainant by the respondent.
- Now, you will get a choice whether you should choose an independent panelist or mutual three-person panelist. The appointment will be scheduled after filling the response.
- Once the decision is issued by the panel, if it's is in your favor, the panel will cancel the disputed domain name otherwise, and they will transfer to a complainant in a case of concern.
