The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) is a process established by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for the resolution of disputes regarding the registration of internet domain names. The UDRP currently applies to all generic top level domains (.aero, .asia, .nyc, etc...),〔(ICANN – Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policies )〕 some country code top-level domains, and some legacy top level domains (.com, .net, .org, etc...) in specific circumstances. ==Historical Background== When ICANN was first set up, one of the core tasks assigned to it was "The Trademark Dilemma",〔See US Government White Paper http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/white-paper〕 the use of trade marks as domain names without the trademark owner's consent. By the late 1990s, such use was identified as problematic and likely to lead to consumers being misled. In the United Kingdom, the Court of Appeal described such domain names as "an instrument of fraud".〔British Telecommunications plc v One in a Million Ltd () 1 WLR 903, Aldous LJ at 920.〕 One of ICANN's first steps was to commission the United Nations World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) to produce a report on the conflict between trademarks and domain names. Published on 30 April 1999, the WIPO Report〔The Management of Internet Names and Addresses: Intellectual Property Issues, 30 April 1999. http://www.wipo.int/export/sites/www/amc/en/docs/report-final1.pdf〕 recommended the establishment of a "mandatory administrative procedure concerning abusive registrations", which would allow for a "neutral venue in the context of disputes that are often international in nature." The procedure was not intended to deal with cases with competing rights, nor would it exclude the jurisdiction of the courts. It would, however, be mandatory in the sense that "each domain name application would, in the domain name agreement, be required to submit to the procedure if a claim was initiated against it by a third party〔See WIPO Mandatory Uniform UDRP Administrative Dispute Procedure. http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/processes/process1/report/finalreport.html#IV〕 The WIPO Report sets out the now familiar three stage test of the UDRP. Following adoption by ICANN, the UDRP was launched on 1 December 1999, and the first case determined under it by WIPO was ''World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc v. Michael Bosman'', involving the domain name worldwrestlingfederation.com〔(WIPO Domain Name Decision: D1999-0001 ). Wipo.int. Retrieved on 2014-04-28.〕 Providers of the UDRP are: (The Asian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre (ADNDRC) ) (National Arbitration Forum (NAF) ) (World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) ) (Czech Arbitration Court, Arbitration Center for Internet Disputes ) http://acdr.aipmas.org/default.aspx The Arab Center for Dispute Resolution (ACDR)] . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
