Rather than domain name vs. domain name, a domain name dispute is more domain name vs. trademark. Bringing a domain name complaint under the CDRP (CIRA Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy) or the UDRP (Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy) is another method of trademark enforcement that is often less expensive and less complicated than the more traditional litigation routes, such as a trademark infringement or passing-off action. This procedure is narrow in its focus as it can only be used against a domain name, and only against a domain name that has been registered in bad faith and is confusingly similar to a trademark. Accordingly, the end result of a successful domain name complaint is simply the cancellation of the domain name or the transfer of the domain name to the complainant.
