The UDRP provides a streamlined process for trademark holders to reclaim domain names that have been registered in bad faith. To initiate a UDRP proceeding, the complainant must prove three key elements:
The domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights. The registrant has no legitimate interests in the domain name. The domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith.
Once a complaint is filed, an arbitration panel reviews the case and makes a determination. If the complainant wins, the domain name can be transferred to them.
