UAE Domain dispute help

Domain dispute
Domain name identical or similar to a trademark held by someone else. Inevitably, we hear the words “Network Solutions allowed me to register the domain, so there is no way someone can say that I did anything wrong.”

Of course, Network Solutions and the other registrars do little to ensure that a person registering a domain has legal right to do so. In reality, the responsibility of ensuring that you do have a legal right to the domain is in your own hands. About the only thing registrars do is make each person who purchases a domain affirm that they are not interfering with some else’s legitimate trademark rights. Simply having the ability to register the domain is no reflection of your legal right to it, and it doesn’t mean that you won’t get sued for having done so under federal law.

The ACPA is a federal law that took effect in November 1999, in order to preclude bad faith registration of domain names. This new domain name dispute law is intended to give trademark and service mark owners legal remedies against defendants who obtain domain names “in bad faith” that are identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark.
