Richard H.W. Maloy with Kathleen Brown

About the book:

The United States Senate described the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act which Congress was about to enact in 1999 in the following words:

The purpose of the bill is to protect consumers and American businesses, to promote the growth of online commerce, and to provide clarity in the law for trade-mark owners by prohibiting the bad-faith and abusive regulation of distinctive marks as Internet domain names with the intent to profit from the goodwill associated with such marks – a practice commonly referred to as ‘cybersquatting.’

B.N.A. reports that while the Act and its administrative counterpart, the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy – the UDRP - have “equalized the playing field” for trademark owners from a jurisdictional standpoint, almost ten years after the passage of the statute, trademark owners still need to keep an eye on domain name abuse.

In this book, and glossary, Professor Maloy focuses on domain name abuse by a cogent presentation of the Act, the UDRP and the legal opinions which have interpreted them. Personal jurisdiction over those who violate the law, in rem jurisdiction, and cyberpiracy protection for individuals, are considered, as is the interesting scenario of those who create domain names just to “gripe.”
