UDRP for all gTLD domain name disputes
auDRP: for all com.au domain name disputes
Global DRP: for all ccTLD domain name disputes
Uniform Dispute Resolution Process
The UDRP provides a standardized method for resolving disputes over domain name registrations, particularly those involving alleged bad-faith registrations (cybersquatting).
Scope Applies to disputes involving generic top-level domains (gTLDs) such as .com, .org, and .net, as well as some country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) that have adopted the policy.
Criteria The complaint must detail i) how the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to their trademark, ii) the registrant has no legitimate interest in the domain, and iii) the domain is registered and used in bad faith.
Outcomes A panel can order the domain name to be transferred to the complainant, canceled, or leave it with the current registrant if the complaint is denied.
Enforcement The domain registrar must implement the panel's decision after a 10-day waiting period unless the decision is challenged in a court of law.
AU Dispute Resolution Process
The auDRP provides a process for resolving disputes over .au domain names, similar to the UDRP but specifically for Australian domains.
Scope Applies to disputes involving .au domain names.
Criteria A complainant must prove that i) the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to their trademark, ii) the registrant has no rights or legitimate interests in the domain, and iii) the domain was registered or is being used in bad faith.
Difference to UDRP The primary difference between the UDRP and the auDRP is the scope of their application; the UDRP is for global top-level domains (gTLDs) like .com and .net, while the auDRP specifically addresses disputes related to .au domain names.
