Reverse Domain Name Hijacking, also known as Reverse Domain Hijacking or Reverse Cybersquatting, involves attempting to use trademark protection mechanisms, such as ICANN's Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) or the Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA), in bad faith to acquire a domain name when the owner has legitimate rights to it. Reverse domain name hijacking is usually attempted by large companies that can afford expensive legal fees.
