How can I protect my trademark against cybersquatting?

Cybersquatting is a type of trademark infringement where someone registers or uses a domain name that is the same or very similar to a trademark in bad faith. In New Hampshire, there are various legal strategies you can take to protect your trademark against cybersquatting. First, you can bring a lawsuit against the cybersquatter for trademark infringement in federal court. A successful lawsuit can lead to the court ordering the cybersquatter to transfer the domain name to you. Second, you can file a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP). This process is usually shorter and cost less than a lawsuit. Finally, you can send a cease-and-desist letter to the cybersquatter. This letter should explain how the cybersquatter is infringing on your trademark and request that they cease and desist from any further infringement. If the letter is successful the cybersquatter should transfer the domain name to you. Protecting your trademark against cybersquatting can be a complex process. Therefore, it is best to consult with an experienced trademark attorney to discuss the best strategy for protecting your trademark. An experienced attorney can help you evaluate the best course of action and potentially save you time and money.
