Policing the Internet for Domain and Trademark abuse

With the exception of 'sunrise periods', domain names can be registered on a first come first served basis without checks being carried out in order to establish whether the domain infringes the rights of another party. When this is found to have taken place, the best course of action by the infringed party is to investigate the new registration to see whether the domain was registered innocently, or in bad faith.

Using a combination of the latest specialist IT investigative tools and proven investigative skills, Carratu personnel are able to locate the individuals concerned, establish their identity, and - most importantly - discover the intended use for the domain name, together with its launch date. As part of the investigation, we can also ascertain whether the site is available for sale and at what price, without disclosing the identity of the interested party.

The information with provide can be used as evidence in subsequent recovery proceedings or as a starting point for anonymous third-party acquisition through our unique IP3 ® service.
