Domain Legalities
DomainStatute.com
- UDRP Disputes
UDRP is a dispute-resolution mechanism offering a cost-effective way for trademark owners to recover already-registered domain names that infringe on their rights. These rights may be either in the form of a registered trademark (obtained, for example, through the USPTO), or a common law trademark of a descriptive expression that has acquired secondary meaning. The reason why a UDRP proceeding is normally more attractive than a regular lawsuit, is that it is fast, simple, and inexpensive.

And 2) we found about them from email spam they sent us and we advise everyone to use other companies that do not send unsolicted email or spam.
