| The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has adopted a domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy dealing with "cybersquatting," that is binding on all domain name registrars and all domain name owners. ICANN will cancel a domain name: if a trademark owner files a complaint and proves that another party has registered a domain name identical to or confusingly similar to the complaining party's trademark; if a domain name registrant has no legitimate interest in the domain name; and if the domain name was used in bad faith. Registering a domain name for the purpose of selling it is considered evidence of bad faith use. |
