Recover your name through a UDRP

The UDRP is the standard way to recover a gTLD domain — .com, .net, .io, .ai and more — when it is confusingly similar to your mark, the holder has no legitimate interest, and it was registered and used in bad faith. We run it turnkey: evidence, complaint, reply and transfer. A single-panelist case decides in about two months.

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 the chosen forum.
  4. Respond to any registrant reply.
  5. Receive the panel decision and transfer the domain.

When this applies — and when it does not

It applies when

You hold a trademark or recognized brand, the domain 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.

FAQ

How long does a UDRP take?

About two months from filing to the panel decision for a single-panelist case. WIPO offers an expedited track on request.

What has to be proven?

Three elements: the domain is identical or confusingly similar to your mark; the holder has no legitimate interest; and it was registered and is used in bad faith.

Does a UDRP award money?

No. A UDRP transfers or cancels the domain; it does not award damages. For damages or an injunction you need a court.
