Brussels - The ADR procedure for holders of a trademark, trade name, company name or other rights to dispute speculative and abusive .eu and .ею domain name registrations expands its filing options thanks to the addition of the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center as an ADR provider as of 1 June 2017, a press release by EURid.
“We are very happy with how the ADR procedure has worked and developed since its inception in 2005. And while the Czech Arbitration Court (CAC) has done a great job of handling the numerous cases that have been submitted between then and now, we are pleased to provide more choices for the end user with the
addition of the WIPO Center as an ADR provider”, commented Geo Van Langenhove, EURid’s Legal Manager.
The WIPO Center will support cases in all 24 official EU languages. WIPO is one of the most well-known organizations in IP services, policy, information and cooperation, acting as the global leader in the provision of domain name dispute resolution services under the WIPO-designed UDRP. “The addition of the WIPO Center as an ADR provider adds more convenience for rights holders to an already efficient ADR procedure”, added Geo Van Langenhove. With the WIPO Center, disputes can be handled
and processed via email, which adds an additional layer of convenience to the procedure.
“The WIPO Center is delighted to provide domain name dispute resolution services for .eu and .ею registrations”, said Brian Beckham, Head of the WIPO Center’s Internet Dispute Resolution Section. “In addition to all generic top level domains (gTLDs) and new gTLDs, the WIPO Center provides dispute resolution services for some 74 country code top level domains under the WIPO ccTLD Program, including a number of European national registries. We look forward to applying this recognized experience for EURid,” Mr. Beckham added.
