A domain is the address where clients find you, and also something people fight over. We register domains, watch them and run disputes over them: in Ukraine under UA-DRP, in the international zones under UDRP and URS, and in court through an advocate. Below is where to start, depending on your situation.
What people come to us with
- you need a .UA domain for your trademark, or a name in another zone — domain registration; for the new top-level domains — TMCH and Sunrise
- someone has registered a domain with your mark — domain disputes: UDRP for .com and other gTLDs, UA-DRP for .UA domains
- you have received a complaint against your domain and have a deadline for the response — respondent defence
- the name you need is taken, or you want to know where domains with your mark appear — monitoring and backorder
- a phishing site, a clone of your site or a fake shop under your brand — takedown
- you are a registrar or a hosting provider and need an abuse policy, a data-disclosure procedure or NIS2 preparation — compliance
How we work
- Assessment. We look at the domain, the mark, the registrant and how the site is used. We tell you honestly whether there is a prospect and which route is cheaper: registration, a letter, a complaint or court.
- Action. We register the domain, file the complaint or the demand letter, send requests to the registrar and the hosting provider — whatever your case needs, and only after you have approved the plan and the costs.
- Result. The domain is in your account, the dispute is closed by a decision or a settlement, the clone site is down. After that we watch the renewal dates and the domains with your mark, if you want us to.
Who is responsible
The section is led by Andriy Khvetkevych, patent attorney of Ukraine and director of Broodex. He also owns the registrar NIC.UA — so we know the rules of the domain zones from the inside, and in a dispute we act only as a party's representative, not as a registrar.
The registrar takes no part in a dispute: it only does what the procedure's rules require — confirms the domain's registration data to the Center, locks the domain for the proceeding and implements the decision. If the disputed domain is registered through NIC.UA, the case is handled by staff with no role at the registrar, and no internal registrar data enters the case beyond what the registrar passes to the Center under the procedure.
In court a party is represented only by an advocate — the case is run by the advocate on our team.
Checked: October 2026.
What matters
Registration of a .UA domain for the first year — 3,200 UAH.
A second-level .UA domain (name.ua) is issued only to the owner of a trademark valid in Ukraine whose word element matches the domain's spelling — a word mark, or a combined mark whose word element is itself protected; the registry checks the certificate, and a pending application is not enough. For com.ua, kyiv.ua and .com no mark is needed; the zones of other countries have their own conditions. Details are on the registration page.
We do not take on a dispute we see no prospect in, and we say so after the assessment. The fees of the WIPO Center, the URS providers and the court fee are third-party costs; we name their amounts before the work starts.
Domain disputes in the United States are run only through a US-licensed attorney: Broodex Inc. coordinates but does not represent.
