The GigaLaw Firm was one of the “top 10” representatives that filed domain name dispute complaints at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2024, the United Nations (UN) agency said in a report about cases under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and other policies created to combat cybersquatting.
Led by attorney Doug Isenberg, GigaLaw has been a prolific filer of domain name complaints for many years and filed the largest UDRP complaint ever in 2009. For the first time, WIPO — the most active of the five ICANN-approved UDRP service providers — identified those law firms and others that have represented trademark owners most frequently in cybersquatting cases.
GigaLaw’s clients range from individuals to some of the largest corporations in the world, representing a wide variety of industries, including nearly all of those listed among the top sectors identified in the WIPO report: retail; banking and finance; biotechnology and pharmaceuticals; Internet and IT; heavy industry and machinery; fashion; entertainment; food, beverages and restaurants; media and publishing; and hotels and travel.
In its own analysis of cybersquatting enforcement — GigaLaw’s Domain Dispute Digest — GigaLaw recently reported that domain name disputes under the UDRP rose by 3.1 percent in 2024, an indication that cybersquatting remains a significant problem for trademark owners, and that more than 95 precent of UDRP decisions last quarter resulted in orders to transfer disputed domain names to the trademark owners who filed the complaints.
