We help our clients develop practical and strategic domain name management systems for acquiring, maintaining, and recovering domain names and for tracking and prioritizing among various online abuses.

• Monitoring and advising on infringing domain names, websites, and unauthorized or offensive website content
• Counseling on enforcement measures and prioritizing among enforcement options with specific consideration of diverted sales and/or traffic, unauthorized affiliations such as linking and framing, and online advertising abuses
• Enforcing IP rights through take-down measures, World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) actions, Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) actions, arbitration and litigation
