DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES

A trade mark can be registered in 45 different classes, making it possible for 45 identical marks to co-exist in one country.  If this is expanded to 150 countries, 6750 identical trade marks could be registered by different trade mark owners.

Only ONE identical .com is available.

If the negotiation process does not yield a favourable result or is inappropriate, Lexsynergy is able to draft the appropriate communications to recover a domain name as well as prepare and submit a domain name complaint with the relevant dispute resolution forums (ICANN UDRP, Nominet DRS, ZA ADR, Eurid DRS).

The international nature of domain name disputes means that trade mark owners need to search various independent dispute resolution databases to establish whether a potential respondent has a track record or to locate a precedent. The problem, until now, was the absence of a centralised database from which a potential complainant could search multiple domain name dispute databases at once.

We have solved this problem by developing a free domain name dispute search engine that covers several domain name dispute providers (WIPO, National Arbitration Forum, Nominet, ADR.eu, SAIIPL, Domain Name Commission, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Asian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre, Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration).
