Legitimate domain usage
The domain names enjoy a lot of popularity and this exposure has in time led to uses which are outright abusive. The established companies with trademark rights called this cyber squatting and questioned the legality of an approved and allotted domain name. In cyber squatting, a person registers a domain name similar to that of a trademark. The intent is to profit from visitors who browse for that particular, more popular address. Swinging into action and to combat this form of abuse, various laws and policies were enacted.
They drew abusive registrations to be forcibly transferred. However, the law itself was sometimes abused by overzealous companies. They take to reverse domain hijacking, committing a theft of sorts, against domain users who have legitimate grounds to hold their domain names. The legitimate uses also include the use of generic words contained within a trademark. However, this is used in a context within the trademark.
