Dispute Arbitration Partners
The National Arbitration Forum
ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which established a mandatory dispute resolution policy (UDRP) for administering domain name conflicts, selected the The National Arbitration Forum to oversee and administer these cases, ICANN selected the National Arbitration Forum (FORUM), an international provider of arbitration services.
In late 1999, they assembled a specialized panel, identifying legal experts from around the world with trademark, copyright, and e-commerce experience. They drafted supplemental rules and developed the technological systems necessary to handle a high-volume, international caseload. Since then, over 12,000 domain name disputes have been filed worldwide. The FORUM efficiently resolves disputes involving diverse parties and trademarks ranging from Google to Hillary Clinton and Neiman Marcus to Nike.
