Trademark Domain Names

Trademark Domain Names are used to designate commercial use via the internet (.com names).  Such names can be registered and protected as trademarks.  An organization may be entitled to a domain name that another party may have already registered.  The PLK Law Group works to successfully dispute domain name registrations for its clients, including conducting Domain Name Dispute Resolution cases before the World Intellectual Property Office.  Most types of trademark-based domain-name disputes must be resolved by agreement, court action, or arbitration before a registrar will cancel, suspend, or transfer a domain name under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).  Disputes alleged to arise from abusive registrations of domain names (for example, cybersquatting) may be addressed by expedited administrative proceedings that the holder of trademark rights initiates by filing a complaint with an approved dispute-resolution service provider.
