domain registrant information was changed without consent

[dragon6473]

What is the name of your state? CA

Hello. Recently, the domain registrant information that I owned was changed without my knowledge and authorization.

Can I prosecute the party under any internet law for criminal malicious act and violation for fraudulent act? I understand that this is a Federal violation and possibly State as well.

I filed for a trademark for a name I have been using and is there anyway I can send a cease and decease letter to the party that are using the .net extension with the same name base on I'm first in commerce in a different state to use the Company name, than the party, and also base on the fact that I filed for trademark.? Can I ask them to transfer eventhough the party is the one that registered the domain. Am I being protected in anyway?

How should I go about it? Please help!

Thank you.

you may, and i repeat may, have a case under WIPO's UDRP. THere are too many facts missing from your convoluted first post to tell for sure. Look at WIPrg and see how your case fits.

This is not legal advice, but only genreal information and we have no attorney client relationship.

thank you ChicagoLawyer

I apologize for the confusion. I was asking two separate questions in one post.

I have checked WIPO and UDRP sites and learnt as much as I could. However, there was no similar cases to my situation. I was hoping for more specific answers to my problems.

Thanks again for your help.
