Cybersquatting — ACPA Claim

Federal Court · WIPO UDRP

Situation — How This Comes Up

Someone registered a domain name that is identical to my trademark and is trying to sell it to me.

What You Need to Know First

The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act allows trademark owners to recover domain names and statutory damages from bad-faith registrants — without having to prove likelihood of confusion.

Full Analysis

ACPA claims require proving the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a distinctive or famous mark, and that the defendant registered it with a bad-faith intent to profit. Statutory damages range from $1,000 to $100,000 per domain name.
