As domain names continue to surface, the numbers of people who
engaged into getting, purchasing, and owning a domain names
rises. This event therefore leads to an increase in number of
the domain name owners. Given such fact, the International
Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers or the ICANN with
its
Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the
Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) recently
presents serious dangers to the innocent domain name owners.
So, there surfaced a number of considerations for the domain
name owners to avoid loss of their domain names. One of the
considerations that the domain name owners should give
attention to lessen the danger of losing their domain names is
to get a trademark registration that match their respective
domain name. This process is not too difficult for the fact
that some of the countries today cater to this service and
this
is not really required by the law to employ a trademark
company.
Following such consideration for the innocent domain names
owners’ sake is the act of keeping the Whois information up to
date. This is considered to be very important since there are
some cases where a court or the UDRP tribunal ruling against
particular domain name owners based its judgment in line on
incomplete or out of date Whois information. And after doing
such move, the domain name owners should also check their
Whois
and Domain Name System information not just once but always.
Since it is a common case where most of the domain name owners
fail to pay their registration fees and therefore lose their
domain names, it is therefore necessary for the domain names
owners to pay for such registration fees to keep their domain
names in function and up to date. One major support for this
fact is that Whois information of certain domain name owners
that is out of date will only lead to the situation where
their
domain name registration fee never reached them.
And finally, in cases where someone contacts the domain name
owners regarding their domain names, it is important that they
are aware that regardless of how folksy or friendly a letter
could be from someone asking their domain names, any answers
by
the domain name owners that makes of the possible blunders may
probably cause a lawsuit or UDRP complaint taking advantage of
the domain name owners’ blunder. But, if the domain name
owners
really receive a UDRP complaint, then it is a right time to
respond the complaint, since the majority of UDRP decisions
against the domain name owners are default decisions that is
where the domain name owner failed to respond to the
complaint.
