Online trademark abuse takes several forms: cybersquatting (registering famous marks as domains), cyberpiracy (diverting traffic to infringing sites), metatag abuse (embedding competitor marks in metatags), and framing (displaying other sites' content in a frame). Remedies include the ACPA (1999), ICANN's Uniform Dispute Resolution Procedure (UDRP), and the Uniform Rapid Suspension System (URS) plus the Trademark Clearinghouse.
