Domain name recovery

With the rise of new exten­sions (New gTLDs), the acts of brand usurpa­tion have been mul­ti­plied. Thus, each week, many com­pa­nies are vic­tims of their brand being used in domain names reg­is­tered on the basis of “first arrived, first served”, with­out ben­e­fit­ing any con­trol from reg­istries on names reg­is­tra­tions.

Called cyber­squat­ting, this prac­tice con­sists to reg­is­ter a domain name cor­re­spond­ing to a brand, with the inten­tion to resell it to the brand own­er, to alter its vis­i­bil­i­ty or to prof­it from its noto­ri­ety.

Domain name recovery or suspension… two possible options

Since the arrival of new exten­sions, we count many domain names reg­is­tra­tions rep­re­sent­ing an infringe­ment of the rights of hun­dred brands.

Reclaim a right on a name means to depend on the Arbi­tra­tion Cen­ter asso­ci­at­ed to the name’s exten­sion, which will pro­ceed to resolve the dis­pute between the com­plainant and the name’s own­er.

This legal action can take two forms: the UDRP pro­ce­dure (applic­a­ble to gener­ic exten­sions, coun­tries – 90 con­cerned coun­tries – and to new exten­sions) and the URS pro­ce­dure (for the new exten­sions).
