Domain Recovery & Acquisition

It is now widely accepted that domain names are unique brand identifiers and valuable assets in today’s day and age. With the introduction of around 500 new gTLDs [Generic Top Level Domain Names] such as “.adult”, “.sucks”, “.porn”, “.rocks”, etc. it is more than necessary to secure the ‘brand’ by continuous monitoring of such domain names on the internet.  In order to achieve this, we have developed an in-house solution for the Domain Name Management of a ‘brand name’ which includes registration, management [including renewal] of important gTLDs and ccTLDs, monitoring for unauthorised domain name registrations, and domain name recovery by serving legal notices or initiating proceedings under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy or the .IN Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, if required.  

Continuous monitoring as well as acquiring unauthorised or abusive domain names is important for the reputation of a brand name. Our proprietary domain name search tools are proficient in searching unauthorised domain name registrations containing the brand name across all domain name extensions.

Such domain names can at any point become a liability for the client if they evolve into a phishing, cyber fraud, recruitment fraud or related activity and it is thus always advisable to recover such unauthorised domain names. In such cases, particular attention should be given to domain names which are being offered for sale and can thus instantly be owned by another third party or a competitor thereby increasing the risk of brand abuse.
