Assess my case

Someone registered your brand as a .com

You can recover a .com that infringes your brand by filing a UDRP complaint with WIPO — provided you hold rights in the name and the holder registered and uses it in bad faith. A single-panelist case runs about two months. We show the filing fee and our legal fee separately, before you start.

The steps

  1. Confirm your rights in the name (trademark or recognized brand).
  2. Document bad-faith registration and use (WHOIS history, listings, screenshots).
  3. File the complaint with WIPO.
  4. Respond to any registrant reply.
  5. Receive the panel decision and transfer the domain.

The filing fee goes to WIPO; the legal fee is ours. No "we will quote you individually."

When this applies — and when it does not

It applies when

You hold a trademark or recognized brand and the .com is identical or confusingly similar, the holder has no legitimate interest, and registration and use are in bad faith.

It does not when

The domain was registered before your rights existed, or reflects a genuine descriptive or good-faith use. Filing anyway risks a reverse-hijacking finding against you.
