Revocation of a Domain Name[edit | edit source]

Any natural or legal person who believes that their rights have been affected by the registration of a domain name may request the revocation of that registration, which will be subject to the .cl Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. The petitioner must prove that the registration is abusive, which will be the case when the following three conditions are met:

Here is the translation of the text:

  • that the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a name by which the petitioner is known or to a trademark or other expression regarding which the petitioner claims to have prior rights; and,
  • that the assignee of the domain name has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and,
  • that the domain name has been registered or is being used in bad faith.

The occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances, without being exhaustive, will serve to evidence and demonstrate the bad faith of the assignee of the disputed domain name:

  • that there are circumstances indicating that the domain name was registered with the primary purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the petitioner or to a competitor, for a value exceeding the direct costs related to its registration, with the petitioner being the owner of the registered trademark of the good or service; or,
  • that the domain name was registered with the intention of preventing the trademark owner of a product or service from reflecting the trademark in the corresponding domain name, provided that a pattern of such conduct has been established by the domain name assignee; or,
  • that the domain name was registered or is being used primarily to disrupt or affect the business of a competitor; or,
  • that by using the domain name, the assignee has attempted to attract, for profit, Internet users to their website or any other online location, creating confusion with the petitioner's trademark.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, the occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances, without being exhaustive, will serve to evidence and demonstrate that the assignee of the disputed domain name has not acted in bad faith:

  • that the domain name assignee demonstrates that they are using, or preparing to use, the domain name with a genuine intent to offer goods or services under that name; or,
  • that the assignee of the domain name is commonly known by that name, even if they do not own a registered trademark for that designation; or,
  • that the assignee is making legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent to obtain commercial gain, and without the intention of misleading consumers.[2]
