Protecting Your Company’s Domain Name

Other companies cannot use your company’s domain name, but they may attempt to use something similar. This Today’s General Counsel article explains the potential problems – specifically cybersquatting and the related practice of “typosquatting” – why it’s important to continuously be on the lookout, and what your options are if you think you’re being exploited. Among the topics discussed are cease and desist letters, domain name disputes, cybersquatting and brand protection, and the use of both arbitration and litigation as enforcement mechanisms.
