Although the correct procedure for domain disputes is to take the issue to the URDP, many companies such as Tucows have bypassed the URDP and filed domain name lawsuits directly.

It should be noted that there are authorities such as URDP and WIPO for handling of domain disputes. It will be cheaper, but if you have a strong case and believe it worth your while to go the long route of domain name lawsuits, it is best to get the help of Intellectual Property Lawyers first.

Domain name lawsuits in the USA have become big business and with the Internet becoming the new war zone between companies, things will surely get uglier in future as companies compete for the rights of domain names.

First and foremost make sure that a domain name doesn’t infringe on the trademark of another company before you register it and thus save yourself a lot of trouble and money in the long run.
