Dealing with domain squatters—people who register domains similar to your brand to profit off them—requires both strategic and legal action. First, confirm that you own the trademark for your brand name. With this, you can:

  • File a UDRP complaint to challenge the domain registration.
  • Use anti-cybersquatting laws, if applicable in your jurisdiction, to demand the domain's transfer or deletion.
  • Work with the domain registrar to report abuse if the domain is used for harmful activities.
