Typically, such disputes involve a registrant who has registered a \u2018.sg\u2019 domain name and a complainant who has applied to take over ownership and registration of the same domain name.<\/p>\n<p>The Singapore Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy Service (SDRP) caters to instances of registration or the use of domain names in bad faith. Compared to going to court, a SDRP proceeding is a quicker and more affordable way of resolving domain name clashes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"singleService__tabContentGroup\">\n<h3 class=\"singleService__tabContentGroupTitle\" data-tab-slug=\"how-we-can-help\">How we can help<\/h3>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>SDRP proceedings are administered by SMC.<\/p>\n<p>SDRP can be used if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You wish to end a \u2018.sg\u2019 domain name conflict through mediation or an administrative proceeding in line with the SDRP.<\/li>\n<li>You wish to challenge the registration of a \u2018.sg\u2019 domain name on the grounds given under paragraph 4(a) of the SDRP.<\/li>\n<li>A \u2018.sg\u2019 domain name registered to another party is identical or confusingly similar to a name, trademark or service mark in which you have rights that are recognised under Singapore law. Further, you believe in good faith that you are entitled \u2014 on the grounds stated in paragraph 4(a) of the SDRP \u2014 to have the domain name cancelled or transferred to you. This is to protect your rights in the name, trademark or service mark.<\/li>\n<li>You prefer a quick, convenient and cheap way of ending a \u2018.sg\u2019 domain name battle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information on how the service works, please refer to the SDRP policy and rules on the Documents &amp; Forms page:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/mediation.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SDRP-Policy-SS-DS-SGNIC11May16.pdf\">Singapore Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/mediation.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Rules-for-the-SDRP-policy.pdf\">Rules for the Singapore Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy Service<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/mediation.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SDRP-Supplementary-Rules-updated-on-1-Jan-2024.pdf\">Supplementary Rules for the Singapore Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy Service<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Information on proceedings under SDRP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In line with paragraph 4(j) of the SDRP, all decisions under it will be published in full on the Internet, except when an administrative panel decides in an exceptional case to edit portions of its decision.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/mediation.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/List-of-Proceedings-Sorted-by-Commencement-Date-1April2026-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">List of Proceedings Arranged by Commencement Date\/Case Number<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/mediation.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/List-of-Proceedings-Sorted-by-Domain-Name-1April2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">List of Proceedings Arranged by Domain Name<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","service-type":[102],"class_list":["post-1894","service","type-service","status-publish","hentry","service-type-business"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.7 (Yoast SEO v28.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SMC Domain Name Disputes | Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SMC Domain Name Disputes in Singapore.
