Cybersquatting is the practice of registering a domain name that uses the name or trademark of an existing business, with the intent to sell the name to that business at a profit or to capitalize on that name for some other purpose. A 1999 federal law called the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) makes cybersquatting illegal. A trademark owner claiming to be a victim of cybersquatting can file a suit under the ACPA. To have its claim upheld, a trademark owner must prove that it was the first to use the name or trademark for commercial purposes, that the name or trademark was distinctive at the time the domain name was first registered, that the domain name is the same as or sufficiently similar to the trademark as to cause confusion, and that the domain name registrant had a bad faith intent to profit from the trademark. A trademark owner who wins a suit can obtain the rights to the domain name and perhaps be awarded monetary damages up to $100,000. ICANN also arbitrates cybersquatting disputes, with essentially the same criteria, but does not award any monetary damages. International disputes may be brought before the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a United Nations agency. Since beginning this practice in 1999, the WIPO has received over 20,000 cases concerning about 35,000 domain names. Over 90% of these cases were decided in favor of those who charged they were the victims of cybersquatting.
