We have launched a new search function for expert decisions from the Dispute Resolution Service. For the first time, it is now possible to search through the text of published decisions using a free-text search or more specific search criteria.

Our Dispute Resolution Service (DRS) offers an efficient and transparent method of resolving disputes in the .uk Top Level Domain. Through the DRS we seek to settle .uk domain name disputes through mediation, and where this is not possible, through an independent expert decision.

All expert decisions are published on our web site. We have now launched a decisions search function. The search function allows users to search through the full wording of decisions for key phrases or words. Specific searches can also be made using the domain name, date, result, expert, complainant or respondent.

We are also in the process of tagging all decisions in a number of categories. A case will be tagged based on which part of the dispute policy it relates to, for example, typosquatting, passing off or trademark infringement. We will also tag cases based on the field of activity or industry to which the domain name relates. The tag search function is an ongoing project and it will take us some time to complete the tagging process for all historic decisions.

DRS decisions will still be published using our RSS feed. You can subscribe to the DRS RSS feed to ensure that you are alerted to new decisions as soon as they are published.

If you need any assistance with the DRS search function or have any issues or comments relating to our Dispute Resolution Service, please contact the DRS team on 01865 332211 or by email.
