What is cybersquatting?
Someone registers a domain that uses your brand or looks confusingly similar to it — often to profit from misdirected traffic, run phishing scams, or pressure you into buying it back.
What to do now
- Collect URLs, screenshots, and any emails related to the domain.
- Decide your objective: takedown (fast suspension) or takeover (transfer ownership).
- We assess evidence and execute the best path: letter, URS, DRS, or UDRP.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about domain disputes and our services
What is a UDRP complaint?
The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) is a process for resolving disputes over domain names. It allows trademark holders to challenge domain registrations that may infringe their rights without going to court.
How long does a UDRP case take?
UDRP cases typically take 2-4 months from filing to decision. We handle filing within 7-10 business days of instruction with complete documentation.
What is the difference between UDRP and URS?
URS (Uniform Rapid Suspension) is faster and cheaper than UDRP but only suspends the domain rather than transferring it. UDRP can result in domain transfer and is more comprehensive.
How much evidence do I need?
We provide evidence checklists for each case type. Generally you need proof of trademark rights, evidence of bad faith registration/use, and documentation of the disputed domain's use.
Can you help with domains registered in other countries?
Yes, UDRP and URS apply to most generic top-level domains (gTLDs) regardless of where they're registered. Country-code domains (ccTLDs) may have separate procedures we can advise on.
What if I lose the case?
UDRP decisions can be challenged in court within 10 business days. We provide guidance on appeal prospects and can refer to appropriate litigation counsel if needed.
Do you handle cybersquatting cases?
Yes, cybersquatting (bad faith registration of domains matching trademarks) is exactly what UDRP procedures were designed to address. This is our core expertise.
How quickly can you send a takedown letter?
Our Cease package delivers takedown letters within 3-5 business days of instruction. For urgent cases, mark your submission as urgent and we'll prioritise accordingly.
What ongoing monitoring do you provide?
Our Defend package includes domain watch services, periodic sweeps for new infringements, template notices for quick response, and quarterly reporting on enforcement activity.
Are your prices inclusive of filing fees?
Our fixed fees cover all legal work for one domain. UDRP/URS registry and panel fees are separate (typically £1,000-£2,000 per case). Additional domains: £250 each.
