ccTLD (non .uk) domain name dispute
Many countries have now set up domain name arbitration schemes enabling recovery of domain names without going to court - provided the complainant proves the required elements under the applicable policy.
Many of these procedures are similar to, or least based on, the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy, also known as the UDRP, originally set up by ICANN to cover gTLD domain names (eg .com, .org, .net, .biz, .info).
WIPO has been accredited as a provider for many such systems. In other cases, the domain dispute claims have to be filed through a local provider in the country concerned, sometimes in the local language.
We have won domain name dispute arbitration cases in Australia (.com.au), Belgium (.be), Denmark (.dk), Ireland (.ie), India (.in), New Zealand (.nz), Poland (.pl), Spain (.es), Taiwan (.tw) and United States (.us) as well as via ADR for .eu domain names. Other countries where we have recovered domains, or have disputes pending, include: Canada (.ca), Brazil (.com.br), Germany (.de), Greece (.gr), Italy (.it), Mexico (.com.mx), Netherlands (.nl), Norway (.no), Russia (.ru) and Sweden (.se).
