Domain name grab feels like theft. Trademark suit and INDRP are different tools

Domain name grab feels like theft.

Trademark suit and INDRP are different tools.

A competitor registers brand.co.in overnight. Outrage is easy. Remedy choice is not. Passing off or trademark infringement is one path. An INDRP complaint against the domain registration is another — different forum, different proof, different timeline. Treating them as the same “domain case” wastes months.

Feels like theft.

Still need the right tool.
