"Cybersquatters clearly have an informal network among themselves to share "best practices" about how best to trade off the goodwill of large brand owners' marks. CADNA aims to accomplish as a group what individual trademark owners may find difficult to do on their own – band together to consolidate information, knowledge, and resources to put an end to the most abusive domain name practices, through a variety of means. Cybersquatters shouldn't be the only ones sharing information."

Allison McDade, Counsel, Trademarks & Copyrights, Dell Inc.
