eu domain trademark infringement

[eskipii]

Hello,

Since EU domains do not follow ICANN's Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy.

What is the correct organization to contact regarding someone who registered our domain with the eu extension.

The domain name is a registered trademark with the USPTO.

Anyone already gone through this?

Well, you can start a ADR (alternate dispute resolution) procedure:

hey thanks,

I just spoke with someone at ICANN and they gave me the same info.

from what I've been reading, it cost about 2000 (EUs) to file a complaint.

What a pain this is going to be...

I've been trying to contact eurodns (their phone is useless) since I filled out the registration information from them during the early period, I just would like to know why they didn't give it to us?

Simple you didn't put any money under the table!

If you attempted to register during the sunrise period and sent all of the necessary documents, and you have the trademark, then the domain name should be yours, unless of course the other party has a trademark also, which is possible.

A lot of companies with trademarks missed out because they didn't get the required documents to EURid in time.

Regards.

An alternative could be to ignore the arbitration process for the moment and go directly to a lawyer's letter, threatening legal action for trademark infringement. Sounds like that could be cheaper (a lawyer's letter that is, not an actual lawsuit!).

hth, a.
