The right dispute option depends on the domain extension and the policy that applies to it.
Many .com domain dispute cases are handled through the UDRP, also known as the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution policy adopted by ICANN-accredited registrars.
Other domains may follow different routes, such as ADR procedures or country-specific systems like the au domain dispute process. Some cases may also involve approved providers such as CIIDRC.
In some cases, negotiation is still the better first step. At iGERENT, we review the domain, the trademark position, and the applicable dispute route before recommending the next move.
