Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) provides a dispute resolution process for domain name disputes through the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP). This process allows trademark owners to challenge the registration of a domain name that infringes on their intellectual property rights. Common law and statutory law may also come into play, but the UDRP process, facilitated by WIPO, is the primary method for resolving these disputes. The World Trade Organization is not directly involved in resolving domain name disputes.
