The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) is a process established by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for the resolution of disputes regarding the registration of internet domain names.

When you register a domain name you agree that the name does not infringe upon or violate the rights of any third party and that you agree to participate in an arbitration-like proceeding should a claim be made against you. 

A UDRP proceeding must establish three elements to succeed:

1. The domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights;
2. The registrant does not have any rights or legitimate interests in the domain name; and
3. The registered domain name is being used in “bad faith”.
