1. INTRODUCTION
Trademark challenges have become increasingly significant in the realm of the internet, namely concerning conflicts arising from domain names. In the Indian context, the frequency of such disputes has witnessed a notable rise, hence presenting distinctive hurdles in the realm of intellectual property safeguarding. Domain names frequently function as digital storefronts and distinctive markers for commercial enterprises. Conflicts may develop concerning ownership and usage rights when a domain name closely resembles a registered trademark.
Cybersquatting encompasses the deliberate and unethical act of registering domain names that are associated with widely recognized brands. The issue at hand in India is effectively managed and regulated by the Trademarks Act, which offers a range of legal measures to safeguard the interests of trademark proprietors. The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) is a commonly employed global method utilized for the resolution of conflicts about domain names. Indian enterprises have the option to employ UDRP (Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy) processes to challenge domain name registrations that violate their trademark rights.
