Practice Notes

This Practice Note provides an introduction to cybersquatting. Cybersquatting is the registration of a domain name that includes the trade mark of another business with the intention (or effect) of taking unfair advantage of that trade mark. It includes typosquatting, which is the registration of a domain name that includes a misspelling of the trade mark of another business. There are various mechanisms for taking actions against cybersquatters including Nominet’s Dispute Resolution Service and the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).
