Legal Definitions - ACP challenge

An ACP challenge is a way to solve disagreements over internet domain names. It is done by an Administrative Domain-Name Challenge Panel (ACP) under the World Intellectual PropertyOrganization. The ACP follows the WIPO (Revised) Substantive Guidelines to make their decision.

For example, if two companies both want to use the same domain name for their website, they can file an ACP challenge to see who gets to use it. The ACP will review the case and make a decision based on the guidelines.

The ACP challenge is a fair and efficient way to resolve disputes over domain names. It helps prevent companies from using domain names that belong to someone else and protects the rights of trademark owners.
