In November of 2009, Apple filed a complaint with ICANN Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy ([[UDRP]]) against Daniel Bijan, a producer, singer, and entrepreneur based in Los Angeles who owned 16 domains that were confusingly similar to Apple's trademarks. Apple argued that Bijan registered and used the domain names in bad faith. Bijan did not respond to Apple's complaint and the UDRP awarded the 16 domains under dispute which include:<ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/07/AR2010010704421.html Apple Seizes 16 Domain Names From A Guy In One Fell Swoop]</ref>

In November, 2011, a registrant agreed to hand over 7 sexually explicit domains that used terms like "iPhone 4s" in the domains, which redirected to pornography sites. Apple filed a complaint with [[WIPO]], and subsequently terminated the case when the defndant agreed to transfer ownership of the questionable names to Apple.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2011/11/22/apple-gets-control-over-porn-domain-names/ Apple Gets Control Over Porn Domain Names, DomainNameWire.com]</ref>
