If the domain name is registered to another business which has a good claim to use it, your best option may be to choose another domain name. If you are starting a new business and your trading names are not yet established, you could also consider changing your trading names to match a domain name that is available.
If, however, you still want a domain name that someone else has registered, you have two main options:
- You may be able to buy the domain name from the organisation that has registered it (see question eight).
- If you have a better claim to the domain name - for example, because it uses a registered trademark of yours - you may be able to use a dispute resolution procedure, or take court action, to have the domain name transferred to you (see question 14).
