What Is Cybersquatting and What Can Be Done About It? ACPA or UDRP?

Have you ever had a third party register a domain name that is either exactly the same or very similar to your trademark? If so, it may be a Cybersquatting issue. Cybersquatting is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with a bad-faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. To address this issue, Congress enacted what is known as the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (“ACPA”). The ACPA amended the Lanham Act by providing trademark owners with a civil remedy against cybersquatting.
