Domain Name Disputes

Domain name disputes occur when multiple parties claim ownership over the same domain name. In India, domain name disputes are resolved through the INDRP (Indian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy), which is a process of arbitration managed by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI).

There has been an increase in the number of domain name cases recently due to the growth of e-commerce and the digital economy. With more businesses going online, the competition for domain names has become more intense, leading to an increase in disputes over domain name ownership. Moreover, the increasing popularity of social media and online branding has led to the emergence of new types of domain name disputes, such as disputes over social media handles.
