The Domain Disputes Committee is an independent body of the Estonian Internet Foundation that solves domain disputes, offering extrajudicial protection against domain name hijacking and profiteering. The advantage of this independent Domain Disputes Committee compared to a state court is in saving time, i.e. a trademark proprietor complaining about domain name hijacking can get a solution much more quickly here than when addressing the matter to a court. Turning to the Domain Disputes Committee does not mean relinquishing the option of protecting your rights via judicial proceedings.
