Legal Matters: Keep It in Your Domain

The Payback
The great strength of the UDRP process is that it provides a relatively fast and reliable way to recover a domain name. A high percentage of UDRP cases result in decisions in favor of trademark owners. Indeed, in our practice we’ve found cybersquatters often fail even to file a response. Today, a merchant’s vigilance and aggressive defense of trademarks effectively can counter this menacing form of Internet piracy.
