Domain recovery
We prove bad-faith registration and return the domain to the client through arbitration, WIPO or court.
Domain Disputes and Cybersquatting
We recover domains, protect brands online and address bad-faith registrations.
A domain is not just an address. For a business, it is the entry point for customers, a brand carrier and a full-fledged asset. Losing it to negligence or bad-faith third parties means losing part of the revenue and reputation.
We handle domain disputes at every level — from pre-trial negotiations with registrars to UDRP proceedings and Russian courts. Our approach: prove the identity of the domain with a trademark and the bad faith of the registration — and secure the return of the domain.
How we protect domains
We handle domain disputes in arbitration, with registrars and in courts — relying on trademarks and unfair competition law.
Cybersquatting
We act against registrations of domains confusingly similar to your brand or trademark.
Registrar claims
We prepare and file claims, securing blocking or transfer of the domain without long litigation.
Raid protection
We defend domain rights in corporate conflicts and disputes with ex-partners or employees.
Domain transactions
We support domain purchases, verify clean rights, encumbrances and history.
UDRP and WIPO
We handle cases under the UDRP procedure at the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Что мы делаем
Как мы работаем
- 01 Analysis We check the domain history, registrar data and trademark status to build a legal position.
- 02 Pre-trial We send formal claims to the domain owner and the registrar; often this leads to voluntary transfer.
- 03 Proceedings If pre-trial fails — UDRP arbitration or a Russian court claim, depending on the situation.
A domain is not just an address. For a business, it is the entry point for customers, a brand carrier and a full-fledged asset. Losing it means losing revenue and reputation.

Частые вопросы
-
Can we recover a domain without going to court?
Often yes — especially if the domain is registered to an ex-employee or contains your trademark. We start with a formal claim and negotiate. About half of cases are resolved pre-trial. -
What is UDRP?
UDRP is a uniform domain-name dispute resolution procedure at WIPO, applicable to generic top-level domains (.com, .net, etc.). It is faster and cheaper than court. -
Do we need a trademark to recover a domain?
A registered trademark significantly strengthens the position. Without one, we may use unfair competition law, but the process is more complex. -
How long does a domain dispute take?
Pre-trial: 2–6 weeks. UDRP: 2–3 months. Court: 4–8 months. -
Can we proactively protect our brand from cybersquatting?
Yes — we register defensive domains, monitor new registrations and take action before damage is done.
