All ICANN accredited registrars follow a uniform dispute resolution policy. Under that policy, disputes over entitlement to a domain name registration are
ordinarily resolved by court litigation between the parties claiming rights to the registration.
Once the court rules who is entitle to the registration, the registrar will implement that ruling. In disputes arising from registrations allegedly made
abusively (such as "cybersquatting" and "cyberpiracy"), the uniform policy provides an expedited administrative procedure to allow the dispute to be resolved
without the cost and delays often encountered in court litigation. In these cases, you can invoke administrative procedure by filing a complaint with one of the
dispute resolution service providers listed at http://www.icann.org/urdp/approved-providers.htm
