UDRP
In cases where someone wants to take a domain from someone else,
Anguilla uses the
UDRP. To file a UDRP challenge you must use one of the
ICANN Approved Dispute Resolution Service Providers.
If the domain is with an ICANN accredited registrar, they
must work with the arbitrator.
A copy of the email to the registrar should be sent to vincecate+udrpcc@gmail.com.
Usually this means either doing nothing or transferring a domain.
We will stand by the decision of the arbitrator picked by
that provider.
If the registrar is not an ICANN accredited registrar then
the UDRP will be processed by Vince and emal should be sent to vincecate+udrp@gmail.com.
To file a case with Vince the email contact that an auth code should be
sent to in the case the judgment goes to the complintant, or
the registrant decides not to contest, must be included in the
initial information.
If the registrant informs the registry that they wish to
surrender the domain we will send the auth code to that email
and the case must be dropped.
If the arbitrator rules in favor of the complaintant, we
will also send the auth code to that email.
Note that if a domain goes unpaid and was about to be
auctioned we can transfer a domain to a trademark holder
without contesting it. Search AuctionFAQ
for UDRP for more details on this.
The trademark must be older than the registration date for the domain.
As of Jan 1, 2023 we do not accept UDRP challenges for domains where there
is only 1, 2, or 3 characters before the ".ai" unless the Complainant already
has domains with those same few characters in at least 3 of the following 5 TLDs, ".com", ".uk", ".de",
".jp", ".fr".
