The difference between being labeled a legitimate domainer or a cybersquatter depends upon one word - trademark.  If you own a domain name incorporating the trademark of another you face legal and financial exposure for cybersquatting.  While defenses are available, such as fair use of a generic or merely descriptive word, that may not stop an alleged trademark owner from pursuing your domain.  So what is a domainer to do?  The answer lies in the problem.  Develop your domain in such a way that you are entitled to trademark rights distinct from those that may be claimed by a trademark owner.

Abstract: Since the early Commercialisation of the World Wide Web, cybersquatting as a phenomenon has been in existence and has been consistently rising; with recent 2006 figures showing a 25% increase up from the previous year.

This paper examines the various legal mechanisms that have been employed to deal with cybersquatting by examining firstly, the reaction of the Courts and secondly, the reaction of the registering authorities. Finally the paper looks at some of the more recent attempts to curb cybersquatting at the registration level by the employment of phased registration periods and additionally some radical solutions suggested in some circles will also be examined.
