The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) is a process of dispute resolutionestablished by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that all registrars are bound to follow. It allows for expedited review in the form of an administrative proceeding for disputes alleging abusive domain registrations. The outcome of such a proceeding will resolve with a review and opinion that will either find the domain registrant is allowed to maintain the domain registration, or result in a cancellation, suspension, or transfer of the domain name. The UDRP process is less expensive than formal litigation and can involve parties from different countries.
