UKNM: Domain Name Theft

[Charles Meaden]

Apologies to anyone if this seems a little old hat, but I hope someone can

clarify the current situtation on domain names


We were in the process of registering a domain name for a well known

company, when through bad luck another company pipped us to the post. The

domain name is a name 'unique' and could only apply to our client.


We have approached the company that registered the domain name to find out

what their intentions are, and they hinting that they will sell the domain

name for a price.


Is this legal and is there anything we can do about it?


Regards


Charles Meaden
