Disputes over domain names can be a part of online business. When a dispute over a domain name occurs you can always turn to the courts. Although courts have the authority to award control over domain names, dont expect a quick resolution. As usually, courts act slowly.

To do so, however, they must establish that the domain name holder acted in bad faith.
