If someone has registered a domain similar to your brand, the first step is to assess whether they’re infringing on your trademark or attempting malicious activity, like phishing or selling counterfeit goods. Gather evidence, such as screenshots of the domain’s content, and check the WHOIS database to identify the owner.

  • Contact the domain owner directly to negotiate a transfer.
  • File a Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) complaint through ICANN if the domain infringes on your trademark rights.

Trama can guide you through these steps, handle the UDRP process, and negotiate with domain owners to reclaim the domain swiftly.
