DOMAIN NAME ARBITRATION:
AN ESSENTIAL NEW GUIDE TO
OWNERSHIP OF DISPUTED DOMAIN NAMES
FOR
TRADEMARK OWNERS AND DOMAIN NAME REGISTRANTS
New York, NY — An essential new book will be published on August 1, and it already has received plaudits from the legal and business communities. It is a must for all attorneys, law school students, trademark owners and domain name registrants. Domain Name Arbitration: A Practical Guide to Asserting and Defending Claims of Cybersquatting Under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy by Gerald M. Levine, Esq. with a Foreword by Hon. Neil A. Brown QC (Legal Corner Press, New York, 565 pages) is now available in print and e-book formats. The e-book features internal and external hyperlinks. Domain Name Arbitration will be invaluable for attorneys and others in the domain name ownership and investing fields.
The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) was implemented by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in 1999. Between 2000 when the first domain name case was decided and 2015 there have been over 45,000 decided cases. That’s approximately 3,500 to 4,000 decisions annually. Parties never confront each other in person as they do in a court of law. The entire procedure takes place online. The UDRP is a quick, efficient and relatively inexpensive regime for determining rights to domain names. Trademark owners can challenge domain name registrants for infringement of their rights to the exclusive use of their marks on the Internet. Decisions are then posted online within 45 days of the submission of the complaint. Decisions are publicly available on databases maintained by the ICANN certified arbitration service providers. From these decisions has emerged a unique body of domain name law.
One of the several truths gained from the collective wisdom of panelists who decide UDRP cases is that parties often fail to understand the evidentiary demands they must satisfy to succeed. Domain Name Arbitration is the most comprehensive and in-depth work on the jurisprudence of domain names. It fully describes and illustrates, with case law, the procedural process and proof elements required of the parties. In addition, it thoroughly explores the law governing registration and use of domain names that are identical or confusingly similar to trademarks. The book provides an analytical description of the process and a step-by-step examination of the evidentiary elements that parties must satisfy to establish the merits of a claim or defense of infringement.
As the Honorable Neil A. Brown, Queens Counsel in Melbourne, Australia writes in the book’s Foreword, “Domain Name Arbitration puts flesh on the bones by illustrating how jurisprudence crafted by panelists makes UDRP a living and working dispute resolution regime. It is an essential reference work for everyone involved in a domain name adjudication. It should certainly be on the desk, or on the computer, of every activist in the domain name world, every practitioner and everyone else that works in the field…It promises to be the Grey’s Anatomy of domain name arbitration.”
