Abstract

In the UK cybersquatting can be challenged through litigation under either the Trade Marks Act 1994 or passing-off law. Litigation is expensive and time-consuming but, if it succeeds, there are damages awarded and attorney fees are paid according to certain circumstances. Another way to claim against the abusive registration of domain names is through the UK’s domain name registration authority’s Dispute Resolution Service. This article describes the service and assesses its strengths and weaknesses.
