Your domain is an extension of your brand, and the primary channel for your online presence.
What are domain names?
They are unique addresses that identify websites on the Internet, such as cuche.cl. While not the same as a trademark, they can hold legal and commercial value, and protecting them is crucial in the digital environment.
What does a domain name attorney do?
They advise on acquisition, registration, recovery, and defense of domain names—especially in cases of cybersquatting or conflicts with registered trademarks. They also represent clients in arbitration proceedings before NIC Chile or WIPO.

Frequently Asked Questions about
domain names
What is the difference between a domain and a registered trademark?
A registered trademark grants exclusive legal rights in commerce. A domain is just a digital address. However, if a domain reproduces a trademark, it can be subject to a revocation action.
What is cybersquatting?
It is the abusive registration of domain names in order to block, resell, or take advantage of others' trademarks. It is prohibited by multiple regulations and can lead to its legal recovery.
Can I recover a domain if it is already registered?
Yes, if you can demonstrate a preferential interest in the domain name, or if it was registered abusively. This can be done before NIC Chile for .CL domains, or through the UDRP policy before WIPO for generic domains.
What evidence do I need for a revocation in NIC Chile?
It depends. For an early revocation, you must prove a preferential interest in the name, for example, by owning a trademark. For a late revocation, you must prove prior rights to the mark or name, that the domain was registered in bad faith, and that the current holder has no legitimate interest in it.
