'''URS(S)''' is the abbreviation for '''Uniform Rapid Suspension (System)'''. It was designed exclusively to provide trademark owners with a quick and a low-cost process to take down infringing web sites. The URSS provides a chance for trademark owners to not only file a claim against the web domain but also involves a process, which will lead a domain to be placed offline.<ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2009/06/01/hate-udrps-say-hello-to-something-much-worse-the-uniform-rapid-suspension-system-urs/ thedomains.com]</ref> The URSS was proposed by the trademark groups within the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ([[ICANN]]) in an endeavor to cut back the large number of trademark infringements, including [[cybersquatting]].<ref>[http://davezan.com/the-uniform-rapid-suspension-system-proposal.html dacezan.com]</ref><ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/udrp/udrp.htm UDRP]</ref>

URSS was intended to provide a fast procedure to deal with the clear cases of infringement. When a trademark holder files a complaint, the [[Registrar|registrar]] immediately freezes the domain. The registrar then notifies to the company against which the complaint has been filed. The company then has 14 days to submit an answer. If there is no reply from the company in 14 days or if the answer provided by the company is not reasonable then the domain name is taken down immediately.<ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2009/06/01/hate-udrps-say-hello-to-something-much-worse-the-uniform-rapid-suspension-system-urs/ thedomains.com]</ref>
