ATF

For .se domains a dispute resolution system applies which is known as Alternativt Tvistelösningsförfarande (alternative dispute resolution procedure) - ATF.

Three requisite conditions

To have a chance of winning a legal process, three requisite conditions must be fulfilled.

• The applicant must have a right (e.g. a trademark or a company) with validity in Sweden.
• The owner of the domain name must have acted in bad faith when he registered or accused the domain name.
• Nor must the owner have a right or legitimate interest in the domain name.

An example of bad faith is when someone registers a domain name, in full knowledge of the fact that the name which constitutes the domain name belongs to someone else, for the purpose of selling it. Bad faith can also imply the registration of a domain name for the purpose of disrupting a competitor's business. Registering someone else's trademark or family name is one example of not having the right or legitimate interest in the domain name.
