All registrars in the .biz, .com, .info, .name, .net, and .org top-level
domains follow the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (often referred to as the "UDRP"). Under the policy, 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. 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.
To invoke the policy, a trademark owner should either (a) file a complaint
in a court of proper jurisdiction against the domain-name holder (or where appropriate an in-rem action concerning the domain
name) or (b) in cases of abusive registration submit a complaint to an approved dispute-resolution service provider (see below
for a list and links).
