When my company started, our company's name was already registered (and parked). After following a bunch of links to find the owner though, we came across a small paragraph stating that if we had some claim to the name, they would forfit the domain. After we incorporated, we sent out an e-mail, and then when they asked for proof, we faxed a copy of our incorporation papers. Only had to pay a $20 transfer fee.
- Shooter 19y agoI'm impressed you were able to do it with just incorporation papers! That would normally just make the squatter see dollar signs. I've only SEIZED CONTROL of a squatted domain once, and I had to send trademark documentation. [Since most squatters are just speculators they don't bother to register the names as trademarks. If they are redirecting within your industry (and the class you got the trademark in), it is easy to get control of the domain.]
