Non .uk ccTLD 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 now handle domain disputes for a wide range of countries, working through a local specialist law firm where appropriate. For example, have recently filed cases in relation to the following domain name types: .au (Australia), .cz (Czech Republic), .es (Spain), .in (India), pl (Poland) and .us (United States).
