	ICANN \| Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy

		Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy -- This policy is followed by all registrars.

	Domain Name Disputes - ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy
		Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) is a policy adopted by ICANN that provides a mechanism for trademark owners to obtain domain names from "cybersquatters." All domain name registrars that have the power to grant.com,.net, and.org generic top-level domains must follow the UDRP.
		The UDRP provides that before a domain name registrar will cancel, suspend, or transfer a domain name that is the subject of a trademark-based dispute, it must have an agreement signed by the parties, a court order, or an arbitration award.
		All owners/registrants of all.com,.net and.org domain names are subject to the UDRP by virtue of: (i) the registration agreements agreed to with their registrars at the time of acquiring their domain names, or (ii) asking ICANN to maintain or renew a domain name registration.

	ICANN \| Approval Process for Providers for Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy
		Although the policy provides that most domain-name disputes will be resolved by the courts, it also calls for administrative dispute-resolution proceedings to enable streamlined, economical resolution of disputes arising from alleged "abusive registrations."

	Wired News: What To Do With Domain Disputes?
		The say the UDRP has a built-in bias against domain name registrants because the procedure allows trademark holders -- and not domain owners -- to choose from a list of dispute resolution providers who make their dime by deciding cases.
		But eResolutions founder Ethan Katsch said that for a trademark holder, the choice is simple when the options are a dispute resolution provider who finds for the trademark holder 80 percent of the time or a provider who decides for the trademark holder half the time.
		One way the policy compensates for this problem, he said, is by allowing defendants the option of paying cash to go to a three-member arbitration panel.

	Helloyou Web Services - Knowledge Base - What is the uniform dispute resolution policy? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) defines how disputes over domain-name registrations are resolved in the global top-level domains (.biz,.com,.info,.name,.name,.net,.org,.pro, and.ws, as well as.aero,.coop, and.museum).

		In that case, the administrative panel found that two factors were most compelling in the determination that there was a likelihood of confusion between the complainant’s trademark and the disputed domain names: (i) the strength of the WALMART trademark; and (ii) the respondent’s intent in selecting the domain names.
		The Policy does not assist the Complainant or the Administrative Panel by stating whether the persons in contemplation in the test in paragraph 4(a)(i) are Internet users in general, the "reasonable person", the "reasonable person" using the Internet or some other class of persons.
		Although this Administrative Panel is conscious that there are strong arguments to the contrary, in the circumstances of this particular case, the Complainant is therefore entitled to the benefit of the decision on this issue.

		The procedure is embodied in the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy ("UDRP" or "Policy"), which became effective on December 1, 1999.
		The arbitration panel's fees are relatively modest - from $750 to $3,750, depending upon the number of domain names in dispute and the number of arbitrators the complainant requests - and because each side generally submits only one document (a pleading/brief combination), the legal fees are also generally lower than a court case.
		Moreover, the Policy permits either party to submit the dispute to a court for independent resolution before or after the mandatory administrative hearing is concluded.
