Facebook Usernames: Cybersquatting and Your Intellectual Property Rights

There’s a bunch of Internet marketers whining because ambitious cybersquatters and affiliates took advantage of Facebook usernames’ land rush by claiming the names of famous Internet marketers and online brands as their Facebook usernames. I’m not condoning cybersquatters – just noting that it isn’t a big deal if you follow Facebook’s instructions.

If you’re looking to get a customized Facebook username, click on this link.

Before registering, review Facebook’s Username FAQs.

And if you think that someone has violated your intellectual property rights by registering a username, simply file a Facebook  Notice of Intellectual Property Infringement (Non-Copyright Claim).
