How brand names appear on the web is an integral part of an organization’s brand identity. We offer our clients a full spectrum of services to support their online identities by establishing, maintaining, protecting, and enforcing their business or entity’s online trademark rights, copyrights, and domain names.
Our attorneys are highly experienced in assisting clients in developing viable domain name strategies tailored to their individual needs. We work with clients to create and select effective domain names and assist them with the acquisition, registration, and enforcement of brand name rights on the web.
Our domain name protection service offerings include:
The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) offered through the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a quicker and less-costly proceeding than federal litigation that allows trademark owners to challenge an infringing domain name registration. Our attorneys have extensive experience assisting clients who seek to protect their trademark rights through UDRP proceedings. We routinely handle UDRP proceedings before agencies such as the World Intellectual Property Office and the National Arbitration Forum. David Einhorn, chair of our Technology Law Practice, has decided over 250 UDRP cases as arbitrator.
The 1999 Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) provides additional protection against cybersquatters who register domain names in bad faith, and provides the opportunity to obtain monetary damages. Scarinci Hollenbeck represents clients in ACPA proceedings in the federal court.
The continued growth in social media usage has generated a host of potential trademark issues. We safeguard our clients’ social media presence, protecting them against the unauthorized use of their marks. Scarinci Hollenbeck attorneys are well-versed on everything from trademark protection for hashtags, user names, and brand identities to compliance with social media policies.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the entity established to oversee operation of the Internet, recently created a new gTLD program. This led to the creation of more than 1,000 new gTLDs, beginning in 2013. The existing environment of generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as .com, .net, and .org, is vastly expanding, causing both serious and immediate concerns and significant opportunities for businesses.
Our attorneys have experience guiding clients through the gTLD landscape and have helped formulate protection mechanisms for trademark holders in the new system. Whether you are a brand owner or applicant, we can assist you wide range of issues pertaining to the launch of the new gTLDs, including:
