UDRP and DRP Management

Melbourne IT helps companies respond to infringement with DRP or UDRP filings, which can be both effective and time consuming. Our specialists leverage experience with dispute resolution proceedings to assist companies in removing the infringing domain name from the active registry.

Melbourne IT develops an investigative report that provides background information relating to the complaint. This report can be used to determine the potential for success prior to initiating any DRP and UDRP action and as evidence of "bad faith,” if action is taken.

When investigation reports support a DRP/UDRP claim, the domain owner is requested in writing to terminate the site. If the domain owner is unresponsive, a DRP or UDRP claim with the service provider is initiated on behalf of the client. Melbourne IT will manage all administrative proceedings and provide communication between the panel and clients.

Not all infringement warrants DRP/UDRP claims. In some cases, an alternative course of action may be recommended - ISP or registry contact requesting removal, cancellation of the domain by the owner or purchase of the domain name. Melbourne IT assesses all options and recommends the course of action that will be the one that is the most economical and beneficial for the client.
