TITLE 15, Sec 1125. False
descriptions, and dilution of Trademarks and the Uniform
Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP)
Be advised: Protecting a domain name registrant or trademark
owner from confusing and/or conflicting domain name
registrations is not the responsibility of the domain and
trademark registration processes. In the event of a
registration of the above noted domain by a third party, the
UDRP may be applied under the following conditions.
Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad
Faith. - For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the
following circumstances, in particular but without
limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be
evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad
faith:
(i) circumstances indicating that the
domain name registered or acquired the domain name primarily
for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise
transferring the domain name registration to the complainant
who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or a
competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in
excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs directly
related to the domain name; or
(ii) the domain name has been registered in order to prevent
the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting
the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that you
have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
(iii) the domain name has been registered primarily for the
purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or (iv)
by using the domain name, registrant has intentionally
attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to
their web site or other on-line location, by creating a
likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the
source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement or your web
site or location or of a product or service of a web site or
location.
In addition to remedies provided for by
the URDP, section 4a (1)(2)(3) & b (1)(2)(3)(4) existing
registrants, trademark and service mark owners are provided
by DUC on domain names that are identical with new ccTLD, TLD
extentions, or domain names that are confusingly similar to
their own.
You are required to advise the Domain Notification Central of
your intent to license this name on or before the expiration
of this notice.
Note: you may disregard this notice. If
you disregard this notice or fail to reply:
(a) The licensing rights of this domain name may be assigned
to any other applicant,
(b) DUC and or any ICANN accredited registrar will not be
liable for loss of domain name license, identical or
confusingly similar use of your company's domain name; or
interruption of business activity or business losses.
