The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) is intended to provide trade mark owners with a relatively quick and inexpensive way to resolve a dispute regarding a third party's registration and use of a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to a trade mark in which the owner has rights. The UDRP provides a single mechanism for resolving the domain dispute and offers the potential for compelling the transfer of the domain name at issue to the trade mark owner. Since the UDRP is intentionally designed to be an expedited process without the costs associated with litigation, trade mark owners are often eager to use the UDRP as a means to get a domain name registration out of the hands of a perceived cyber-squatter.
