Domain Name Disputes & Cybersquatting
We are highly experienced in representing both plaintiffs and defendants in domain name disputes based on federal trademark law and cybersquatting. One of the biggest threats to a company’s trademark rights on the Internet is that of domain name cybersquatting. Under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA), cybersquatting is against federal law. It occurs when someone buys a domain name or URL containing your name or slogan and intends to use or sell the domain name for a profit.

Every dispute involving a domain name that has a .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, or .name extension follows the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), which is administered by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). In many cases, litigation can be avoided and the dispute can be resolved through URDP procedures. We are experienced handling UDRP procedures as well as traditional trademark litigation filed in federal court.

Meta Tags
Meta tags are the hidden words on a particular page of a website that inform search engines about the content on that page. A trademark issue can therefore arise if one company uses a more famous company’s trademarks in its meta tags to drive traffic to its website. This can result in a consumer that is confused about the website they have landed upon. There is a wealth of federal trademark case law that addresses trademark infringement within meta tags and we continually stay up-to-date on these matters should you be involved in a dispute about meta tags.
