Cybersquatting & Domain Name Disputes

Idell & Seitel attorneys have successfully handled a broad range of cybersquatting and typosquatting matters. The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act defines cybersquatting as trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad-faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. Idell & Seitel represents both trademark holders and domain name registrants in Uniform Domain Name Resolution Policy (UDRP) actions under the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) with an approved dispute resolution service provider, such as WIPO. Successful UDRP complainants can have the domain names at issue transferred to their ownership and under the ACPA, a cybersquatter can be held liable for actual damages or statutory damages in the amount of a maximum of $100,000 for each name found to be in violation. Idell & Seitel counsels clients in “reverse domain hijacking” issues, typosquatting and various other issues relating to domain names and intellectual property rights.

UDRP procedures provide for a relatively efficient domain name dispute resolution system. Accordingly, Idell & Seitel is often able to prosecute or defend UDRP actions on a flat fee basis.
