ICAAN Applying Copyright & Trademark Laws

← Return to forum

  • Does ICAAN rely on the Federal Copyright and Trademark laws when interpreting a dispute regarding infringement? If not, does a previously resolved dispute qualify for being litigated by the losing party.

    Thanks,

    It appears that the dispute policy involves both domestic laws and international treaties (which probably confer obligations to nation participants). The WIPO article trademark protection is pretty informative. It looks like you can go through the dispute process AND a legal process in a court with jurisdiction over your particular situation.
