Internet Policy Consultants is one of the world's most experienced firms in dealing with domain name disputes. From individuals, to large businesses, we can help you choose domain names, file your trademarks (if necessary), and defend them. We can also help you with UDRP claims, and issues under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, as well as reverse domain name hijacking cases. Internet Policy Consultants' president, Mikki Barry, has written several papers on the InterNIC dispute policy (precursor to ICANN's Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy now in effect) and is president of the Domain Name Rights Coalition, an organization fighting for the rights of small business and individuals. Please visit their web page by clicking on the name "Domain Name Rights Coalition" above. Current efforts by international telecommunication groups and intellectual property owners may have significant effects on domain name holders' rights.
