Hello!
I come with a little problem.
Some time ago buy via handreg one domain in .COM
Before registering, , I did two checks:
1- In archive.org saw that he was registered by a large Asian company and they had it with a redirection to the same name in ccTLD where they have all the development.
2- Check trademark. Search in "https://tmsearch.uspto.gov" and in "https://www.tmdn.org/" any trademark with the same key. I didn't find anything.
After seeing the way clear, I I register it, changed dns, put in a purchase landing and put it up for sale in several markets.
The problem starts here:
My registrar sends me an email stating that they have received an abuse report on the domain and that in order to avoid the suspension of the domain it is necessary to fix it.
They send me the exact sentence they have received from the other side. In this email, the company that contacts my registrar by abuse says things like:
-----------------------------------
"take down the domain because it can be used to scam" | Completely false. Only have simple landing with a text indicating that it is for sale
"domain has been hit jacked by someone outside our company" | Completely false because is a handreg.
-----------------------------------
WIth this, I reply to my registrar and said that everything is a lie for the company and I plan to develop it.
Await some days and... the reply I get from my registrar is not good.
They indicate me the following:
---------------------------
- suggest an alleged illicit use of the services by me.
- ask me for evidence of the proper use.
- they ask me for several personal data, a selfie, my passport or legal ID, some invoices...
- provide documentation with permission to register and use their trademarks in my domain
If I do not send everything they ask for, tell me that will cancel the domain in the next few days.
---------------------------
With this I understand that my registrar, are 100% on the other company's side. And there is not much that can be done to avoid it.
This is normal ?
Why does the UDRP procedure exist if you can have your domain name cancelled by the registrar itself with any official dispute via ICANN?
PS 1: Any ideas or steps on how to proceed would be welcome.
PS 2: For the moment I leave hidden the domain name and the registrar with which I am having this problem.
Many thanks!
