If you believe someone is using your trademark in a domain name

You may wish to consult an attorney in private practice who deals with intellectual property law to discuss available options. ICANN cannot give legal advice.

Also, the UDRP (Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy) allows trademark and service mark holders to arbitrate certain claims against a domain name registrant before an approved dispute resolution service provider. For information about ICANN's Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), please see http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm

For a list of approved UDRP dispute resolution service providers, see http://www.icann.org/udrp/approved-providers.htm.
