Somebody Else Registered My Company's Name As a Domain Name.
What Can I Do?
All ICANN
accredited registrars and their domain name
resellers follow what is called a "Uniform Dispute
Resolution Policy" (UDRP).
Under that policy, disputes over ownership of a domain name are
usually resolved by court action (litigation) between the
claimants.
Once the Court rules as to who is entitled to the registration,
the domain name registrar will follow that ruling and, if
necessary, will transfer the domain name to the owner designated
by the Court.
In disputes arising out of abusive registrations, e.g. "cyber
squatting" and "cyber piracy", the UDRP provides a fast-track
procedure allowing the dispute to be resolved without the
frequent cost and delays of Court litigation.
In those cases, you can apply to one of the doma
in name dispute resolution service providers.
