Cybersquatting โ€” registering someone else's brand as domain to sell. Illegal, has consequences.

Example

Microsoft, Apple โ€” thousands of brand domains recovered through UDRP or court.

What is UDRP?

ICANN's dispute resolution policy. Brand owners reclaim domains via WIPO.

What can owners do?

WHOIS lookup, UDRP filing, court or settlement. 1-2 months typically.

In Uzbekistan

.uz via UZ Domain Registry + court. Trademark = strong position.

Before registering

Check WIPO and Uzbek patents. Taking existing brand = risk.
