domain name dispute resolution

Domain name dispute resolution is a process used to settle disagreements over the ownership or use of a website's address (domain name). When two parties claim rights to the same or confusingly similar domain, they can resolve the issue through a formal process called the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP). This process is typically faster and less expensive than court litigation. It involves submitting a complaint to an approved dispute resolution provider, which then reviews the case and makes a binding decision. This helps to protect trademark rights and prevent cyber-squatting—where someone registers a domain to profit from someone else's brand.
