Someone registered a domain identical to my trademark – what can I do?

If you discover that a domain identical or very similar to your registered trademark was registered by someone else in bad faith (for example to resell it at a high price, or to mislead your customers), a dispute-resolution procedure is available, depending on the extension:

• .RO domains — RoTLD applies its own mandatory mediation procedure, followed, if needed, by arbitration through WIPO (the World Intellectual Property Organization) or a case in Romanian courts. RoTLD's mediation procedure takes, on average, about 3 months.
• .EU domains — EURid offers an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedure, administered by the Czech Arbitration Court (CAC) or the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center. .eu ADR covers not only registered trademarks but also other rights recognized in the EU, and decisions are usually reached in about 2 months.
• Generic extensions (.com, .net, .org, etc.) — ICANN's UDRP (Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy) applies, administered by accredited providers such as WIPO or the Forum.

In all cases, you'll need to demonstrate: (1) that you hold a right to the trademark, (2) that the domain holder has no legitimate interest in the name, and (3) that the domain was registered and is being used in bad faith.

EUReg is not a party to these procedures — they take place directly through the registry or the arbitration providers mentioned above. If you need information about the holder of a domain registered through EUReg, you can check WHOIS.
