Doug M Isenberg

Doug Isenberg, an attorney and founder of The GigaLaw Firm in Atlanta, has recovered thousands of domain names for clients over nearly three decades, including under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), the Uniform Rapid Suspension System (URS), and numerous dispute policies applicable to country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs). In 2009, he filed the largest complaint that has ever been filed under the UDRP.

During ICANN’s expansion of the domain name system in 2012, Doug represented trademark owners and domain name applicants in objection proceedings.

Doug also serves as a domain name panelist for all five of the ICANN-approved UDRP service providers: WIPO, the Forum, the Czech Arbitration Court, the Canadian International Internet Dispute Resolution Centre, and the Asian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre.

On his GigaLaw website, Doug has published a 14-part “masterclass” on domain name disputes, which he regularly supplements with UDRP case studies on YouTube; and he also publishes GigaLaw’s Domain Dispute Digest, a quarterly update on filing trends under the UDRP and the URS, the only publication of its kind. His book, The GigaLaw Guide to Internet Law, was published by Random House in 2002.

The World Trademark Review has said that Doug is “a whiz on all things to do with Internet law and domain names”; the Atlanta Business Chronicle has called him an “international authority on Internet law”; and he is regularly included in The Best Lawyers in America for technology law.

Doug received a political science degree from Washington University in St. Louis and graduated cum laude from Georgia State University College of Law.
