Domain Name Disputes

Domain name disputes arise when two parties claim rights to the same or similar website address, typically when one party believes the other is infringing on their trademark or brand. These disputes can occur when someone registers a domain name that resembles a well-known company or product, potentially misleading customers. Resolutions often involve legal processes or arbitration through organizations like the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The goal is to determine rightful ownership based on established rules, ensuring fair use of domain names while protecting brands from confusion in the digital marketplace.
