Great post! If we may add one important point. Avoid cybersquatting - Cybersquatting is when a person buys a domain name and has no intention of ever using it commercially, but only buys it before the person who has more of a right to it is able to buy it. The sole purpose then is so that you can attempt to sell the domain to the person later (or prevent the person from entering other markets). By virtue of the new Cybercrime Act 2015, cybersquatting is illegal and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term of not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than N5,000,000.00 or to both fine and imprisonment. So when you are choosing your domain name, you need to be mindful that you are not cybersquatting. |

Lawpadi: Please, how can I report this kind of offense, coz it happens to me. Someone else has taken over my brand name 'Pacespot' I have been using since November, 2014. You can see the blog in my signature, I have been trying to register my domain name for a while now only to find out that this cybersquatter has hijacked it through Godaddy. The person registered the domain name(pacespot DOT com) on May 2015, but only keep it not using it. I had problem using my bank account to purchase stuff online was the reason for the delay in registering the domain name on time. The person might even be one of the readers on my blog, coz the blog is growing steadily with decent daily page visits. Please, how can I retrieve this domain from him/her? |

pacespot: The process is not very easy to be honest. 1. If you want to use the Cybercrime Act provision, the FG has not yet set up the system for making reports of cybersquatting, so as a result you might have to file a police report (which we both know might take forever to resolve) 2. The ICANN have a process for resolving domain disputes, however you need to prove that you indeed have the IP rights over your brand name ' pacespot', the mere fact that you have used it in a blog will not be conclusive proof. Do you have a registered trade mark? do you have sufficient level of awareness that the name 'pacespot' is well known to be associated with only you and your line of business? These are the types of questions you will need to answer in order to successfully get back the domain name if you want to go down a legal route. First things first, maybe you should contact the person who registered it, you can do a 'whois' search to find out the owner of the domain. You need to be sure that the person is actually cybersquatting. He/she could have validly registered it looking to set up a business in their own right, having absolutely nothing to do with your own line of business, in which case you can't really accuse the person of cybersquatting. It might be that the person offers to give it back to you...or maybe offers to sell it to you at a reasonable price. Another option for you is that you could attempt to register the 'pacespot.ng or pacespot.com.ng' domain names. It is unlikely those will be taken as well. As with any legal issue, it is always best to either settle amicably or look to avoid litigation. Lawyers are not cheap (because the skills they provide are in high demand and the value they bring is also quite important). If you can avoid going down the legal route, then please avoid it.
