World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Domain Name Dispute Resolution Service is now accessible for both top-level domain names (.UA) as well as second- and third-level domain names.

Starting from February 1, 2024, the WIPO Center will start accepting applications for consideration of disputes regarding unfair use of brand names, trademarks, etc. in domain names of the second and third levels of the UA zone.

In particular, the dispute resolution procedure is available for sites registered in the zones .KYIV.UA, .KIEV.UA, .IVANO-FRANKIVSK.UA, .IF.UA, .POLTAVA.UA, .PL.UA, .UZHGOROD.UA, . UZ.UA.
