SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Handgun Purchaser Licensing Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) In 2013, more than 33,000 Americans were killed by guns 
        and almost 90 percent of the firearms used in these deaths were 
        handguns.
            (2) Recently published research by top national experts, 
        notably on Missouri and Connecticut handgun purchaser licensing 
        laws, have estimated that Missouri's repeal of its handgun 
        purchaser licensing law led to a 25-percent increase in firearm 
        homicide rates while Connecticut's adoption of its handgun 
        purchaser licensing law led to a 40-percent decrease in firearm 
        homicide rates.
            (3) In States which have had effective handgun purchaser 
        licensing laws for decades, such as Connecticut, Massachusetts, 
        New Jersey, and New York, the vast majority of guns traced to 
        crimes originated in other States, which supports the need for 
        handgun purchaser licensing laws in every State.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

            (1) the terms ``Attorney General'' and ``handgun'' have the 
        meanings given those terms in section 921(a) of title 18, 
        United States Code; and
            (2) the term ``Indian tribe'' has the meaning given the 
        term in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and 
        Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b).

question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; REFERENCES.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Domain Name Piracy 
Prevention Act of 1999''.
    (b) References to the Trademark Act of 1946.--Any reference in this 
Act to the Trademark Act of 1946 shall be a reference to the Act

1946 (15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.).

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The registration, trafficking in, or use of a domain 
        name that is identical to, confusingly similar to, or dilutive 
        of a trademark or service mark of another that is distinctive 
        at the time of registration of the domain name, without regard 
        to the goods or services of the parties, with the bad-faith 
        intent to profit from the goodwill of another's mark (commonly 
        referred to as ``cyberpiracy'' and ``cybersquatting'')--
                    (A) results in consumer fraud and public confusion 
                as to the true source or sponsorship of goods and 
                services;
                    (B) impairs electronic commerce, which is important 
                to interstate commerce and the United States economy;
                    (C) deprives legitimate trademark owners of 
                substantial revenues and consumer goodwill; and
                    (D) places unreasonable, intolerable, and 
                overwhelming burdens on trademark owners in protecting 
                their valuable trademarks.
            (2) Amendments to the Trademark Act of 1946 would clarify 
        the rights of a trademark owner to provide for adequate 
        remedies and to deter cyberpiracy and cybersquatting.

SEC. 3. CYBERPIRACY PREVENTION.

    (a) In General.--Section 43 of the Trademark Act of 1946 (15 U.S.C. 
1125) is amended by inserting at the end the following:
    ``(d)(1)(A) Any person who, with bad-faith intent to profit from 
the goodwill of a trademark or service mark of another, registers, 
traffics in, or uses a domain name that is identical to, confusingly 
similar to, or dilutive of such trademark or service mark, without 
regard to the goods or services of the parties, shall be liable in a 
civil action by the owner of the mark, if the mark is distinctive at 
the time of the registration of the domain name.
    ``(B) In determining whether there is a bad-faith intent described 
under subparagraph (A), a court may consider factors such as, but not 
limited to--
            ``(i) the trademark or other intellectual property rights 
        of the person, if any, in the domain name;
            ``(ii) the extent to which the domain name consists of the 
        legal name of the person or a name that is otherwise commonly 
        used to identify that person;
            ``(iii) the person's prior use, if any, of the domain name 
        in connection with the bona fide offering of any goods or 
        services;
            ``(iv) the person's legitimate noncommercial or fair use of 
        the mark in a site accessible under the domain name;
            ``(v) the person's intent to divert consumers from the mark 
        owner's online location to a site accessible under the domain 
        name that could harm the goodwill represented by the mark, 
        either for commercial gain or with the intent to tarnish or 
        disparage the mark, by creating a likelihood of confusion as to 
        the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the 
        site;
            ``(vi) the person's offer to transfer, sell, or otherwise 
        assign the domain name to the mark owner or any third party for 
        substantial consideration without having used, or having an 
        intent to use, the domain name in the bona fide offering of any 
        goods or services;
            ``(vii) the person's intentional provision of material and 
        misleading false contact information when applying for the 
registration of the domain name; and
            ``(viii) the person's registration or acquisition of 
        multiple domain names which are identical to, confusingly 
        similar to, or dilutive of trademarks or service marks of 
        others that are distinctive at the time of registration of such 
        domain names, without regard to the goods or services of such 
        persons.
    ``(C) In any civil action involving the registration, trafficking, 
or use of a domain name under this paragraph, a court may order the 
forfeiture or cancellation of the domain name or the transfer of the 
domain name to the owner of the mark.
    ``(2)(A) The owner of a mark may file an in rem civil action 
against a domain name if--
            ``(i) the domain name violates any right of the registrant 
        of a mark registered in the Patent and Trademark Office, or 
        section 43 (a) or (c); and
            ``(ii) the court finds that the owner has demonstrated due 
        diligence and was not able to find a person who would have been 
        a defendant in a civil action under paragraph (1).
    ``(B) The remedies of an in rem action under this paragraph shall 
be limited to a court order for the forfeiture or cancellation of the 
domain name or the transfer of the domain name to the owner of the 
mark.''.
    (b) Additional Civil Action and Remedy.--The civil action 
established under section 43(d)(1) of the Trademark Act of 1946 (as 
added by this section) and any remedy available under such action shall 
be in addition to any other civil action or remedy otherwise 
applicable.

                    ``(ii) An action referred to under clause (i) is 
                any action of refusing to register, removing from

                        similar to, or dilutive of another's mark 
                        registered on the Principal Register of the 
                        United States Patent and Trademark Office.

                the registration or maintenance of a domain name for 
                another absent a showing of bad faith intent to profit 
                from such registration or maintenance of the domain

                attorney's fees, incurred by the domain name registrant 
                as a result of such action. The court may also grant 
                injunctive relief to the domain name registrant, 
                including the reactivation of the domain name or the 
                transfer of the domain name to the domain name 
                registrant.''.
