Abstract:

 Domain names (websites) constitute one of the most important technical means for identifying and distinguishing websites on the Internet. They have also become a primary catalyst for e-commerce, playing a fundamental role in defining and identifying trademarks within cyberspace. However, the domain name registration system differs fundamentally from trademark registration, whereas the latter follows specific legal criteria, domain names are governed by the first-come, first-served principle. This divergence has rendered disputes between domain names and trademarks both a possibility and a palpable reality. In light of the proliferation of such disputes, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) adopted the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism. The research concludes that while the UDRP offers speed and flexibility in settling disputes, it is not devoid of certain shortcomings. Consequently, the UDRP policy must be further developed to enhance the protection of the rights of both domain name holders and trademark owners.
