Hello EPDP Team,

Please find below our first proposal for automated disclosure.

Trademark Infringement in Domain Name

Requestor Safeguards

1. Accreditation Authority determines that the trademark is valid.
2. Accreditation Authority determines that Requestor is the legal owner, agent, or service provider of the trademark.

Request Safeguards

1. Requestor alleges that the domain name infringes Requestor’s trademark.
2. Requestor states its own legal basis and purpose for processing the data. Requestor makes a syntactically correct and complete request, including any/all required Authorization Assertions. Requestor makes all representations required by policy: use will be limited to stated purpose, data retention, etc.
3. Domain string contains exact match of trademark string (potentially including prefix or suffix, e.g. “nike-shoes.TLD” or “cheap-nike.TLD”).

Additional Noteworthy Safeguards

1. Registrant committed not to infringe the rights of third parties in its registration agreement, as required by the RA and RAA.
2. Registrant was informed at the time that its data was collected that it could be processed for third-party purposes, including intellectual property protection.

In these cases, disclosure can be automated.
