What is ? What is the goal of the
Anticybersquatting Consumer protection Act (ACPA)?
Cybersquatting is buying and registering unused or lapsed
domain names belonging to someone else or existing businesses so that they can profit from selling them. Some cybersquatters take advantage of people trying to reach a more popular
website and redirect to a website for their own business.
Anticybersquatting Consumer protection Act’s goal is to
protect the consumers and trademark owners from being forced to pay a
cybersquatter for a domain name that includes their trademark. ACPA authorizes a trademark owner to sue an alleged cybersquatter in federal court and obtain a court order transferring the domain name back to the trademark owner. In some cases, the cybersquatter must pay money damages.
