With the proliferation of the online sphere, domain names have
become a crucial IP asset for enterprises. Understanding the
similarities and differences between current Chinese and
international top-level domain name dispute resolution strategies
is essential for selecting the most appropriate method of defence
and quickly resolving any disputes that may arise.
Filing a complaint
In the event of a domain name dispute, an applicant can file a
complaint with the suitable dispute resolution centre. After
filing, this centre will then notify the suspected infringer or
their domain name registrar to participate in arbitration, in which
a panel will decide whether to cancel or transfer the disputed
domain name to the applicant (the real owner).
