===Cybersquatting & UDRP claims===

[[Cybersquatting]] and [[UDRP]] accusations have been alleged against Donuts from several sources. Jeffrey Stoler, a lawyer at Boston law firm McCarter & English, submitted a letter to ICANN and the [[GAC]] accusing Donuts of being associated with a number of UDRP cases that were lost by [[Demand Media]]. He argued that two of the company's founders were employees of Demand Media when many of the UDRP cases occurred, as well as when ICANN announced that any applicant to have lost more than three UDRP cases in the last four years would fail the required background check. He alleges that Stahura and Tindal both left Demand Media to found Donuts when they realized that Demand Media would fail this background check.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/9892-lawyer-tries-to-nuke-donuts-and-demand-medias-gtld-bids Lawyer tries to nuke Donuts and Demand Media’s gTLD bids, domainincite.com]</ref> Donuts has refuted these claims, stating that Demand Media serves as nothing more than their registry backend provider, and is not involved in any sort of joint venture with Donuts.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/9903-donuts-dismisses-meritless-cybersquatting-claims Donuts dismisses “meritless” cybersquatting claims, domainincite.com]</ref> [[James Oliver Warner]] filed a public comment stating that former Director [[Graham Stirling]], who has not been a part of the company since November 2011 and is not listed on any of the company's applications, owns a number of domain names containing Olympic and Disney trademarks.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/9985-donuts-director-hit-with-cybersquatting-claim-over-disney-and-olympic-domains (Former) Donuts director hit with cybersquatting claim over Disney and Olympic domains, domainincite.com]</ref>
