The PDDRP is intended to provide a mechanism for bringing a complaint not to the domain name owner but directly to the registry. This happens especially when the registry engages itself in a practice or a pattern wherein it encourages the third parties to register against the infringing domains. PDDRP is one of the most effective means to counter bad-faith domain name registrations.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/draft-trademark-pddrp-04oct09-en.pdf icann.org]</ref>
