How it works
The Domain Doc recovery process.
We use the WIPO UDRP — a global administrative proceeding built specifically to stop cybersquatting. It's faster and far cheaper than litigation, and decided on paper.
- 01
The complaint
We prepare and file a UDRP complaint with WIPO showing the domain is confusingly similar to your mark, that the registrant has no legitimate interest, and that it was registered in bad faith.
- 02
The response window
The registrant has 20 days to answer. Many never do. Silence generally strengthens your position.
- 03
The panel decision
A neutral WIPO panelist decides on the written record. There is no hearing, no travel, no courtroom.
- 04
The transfer
If the panel orders transfer, the registrar moves the domain to your account — typically about two months from filing.
Do you qualify?
Could you recover your domain?
Most recoverable cases share the same fingerprints. If several of these sound like your situation, it's worth a formal look.
- You own a trademark or brand rights
- Someone else registered the domain
- The domain matches or relates to your brand
- The registrant is not authorized
- Your rights may predate the domain registration
