Dear Michael,

Cybersquatting is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with a bad-faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else.  If the domain name of your trademark has been registered by a third party in bad-faith, our firm can obtain the transfer of the domain name or seek damages.  This is done by filing an Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act ("ACPA") claim in federal court, or by initiating an Uniform Domain Name Resolution Policy ("UDRP") proceeding with ICAAN.  For additional information, see this article.

We also enforce and litigate cyberpiracy matters regarding the domain registration of individual and celebrity names without consent.  These matters are typically prosecuted under California Civil Code 1129.
