If you own trademarks, it is likely that your brand equity and legal rights are continually being infringed upon by criminal entities known as cybersquatters, who trade on your brand’s goodwill for their own bad-faith enterprises.

Your organization is not alone in facing these problems. A group of brand leaders, across a spectrum of industries, has come together to address these challenges in meaningful and actionable ways. CADNA is an exclusive and confidential forum for the exchange of information and, more importantly, offers the opportunity to shape and influence legislative agendas and outcomes.

Why become a CADNA member?

  You will become part of a group of thought leaders working on behalf of brand owners and consumers to fight for the interests of trademark holders and for the overall integrity of the Internet.

  On your behalf, CADNA will provide for messaging and media, and will be responsible for outreach to members of Congress, ICANN, and other audiences that need to hear the brand owner’s point of view on these issues.
• To share in the collective knowledge of your colleagues.

  For example, in 2008, CADNA members strongly advocated the introduction of the Anti-Phishing Consumer Protection Act (APCPA). This milestone bill would represent a meaningful and effective U.S. legislative solution to the problem of phishing. It would target cybersquatting and evasion by requiring accurate WHOIS information.
