Domain Name Dispute Lawyer | Fighting for Clients throughout Louisiana

Domain name disputes usually take one of two forms: one party objecting to your domain name, or you object to another party’s domain name. Ultimately, however, the outcome of a dispute can result in either securing a domain name or being denied the domain name and having it transferred to the ownership of another. An Orleans Parish, Louisiana intellectual property lawyer from Lemler IP is here to fight for you.

Your Options

Traditionally, when it comes to intellectual property disputes, there are two ways they will play out: either through arbitration or litigation. In most cases, arbitration is the better of the two options, but it isn’t always possible.

Arbitration

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers regulates domain name registry and compliance as outlined in the Uniform Domain Dispute Resolution Policy. Once an individual registers their domain name, they are required to follow all rules set forth in this policy. If they are accused of violating these rules, or believe another party has violated these rules, they may go through arbitration, wherein both parties will seek/oppose the ownership of a given domain. Arbitration is often an expedited and less costly process than litigation, and will conclude either with the cancelation or transfer of a given domain name.

Litigation

In most cases, domain name litigation occurs in federal court. You can go through litigation either prior to, during, or after arbitration has concluded. You are allowed to bring various claims during the litigation process, but it’s best to first consult with a competent domain name dispute lawyer before beginning. Lemler IP is here to help you get the results you need in the fastest, most efficient way possible.
