The REVERA Arbitration & IT Disputes Practice team has prepared a guide to the UDRP procedure.

UDRP is an international out-of-court mechanism for resolving domain name disputes, used to protect trade marks against the bad-faith registration of domain names.

In the guide, the experts examine:
in which cases the procedure may be applied;
which domain zones fall within its scope;
how the complaint review process is conducted;
what decisions may be issued at the conclusion of the case.

Who it is for — and its practical value

The practical value of the guide lies in helping companies, brands and rights holders quickly assess the possibility of recovering a disputed domain name, understand the realistic timeframes and costs of the procedure, and choose an effective strategy for protecting digital assets.

The material will be particularly useful for legal departments, marketing teams, brand owners and entrepreneurs facing cybersquatting and infringements of rights on the internet.

Inside the guide:

a practical comparison of the standard and expedited WIPO procedures;
timeframes for dispute resolution and the approximate cost of filing a complaint.

In addition, the experts also provide answers to key business questions: whether several domain names can be combined in a single case, whether legal representation is required, and what to do in the event of a refusal.

Particular attention is also given to the consequences of decisions — transfer of the domain name, cancellation of the registration, or dismissal of the complaint.
