Someone is using my name/business name as their Flickr URL. What can I do?
After a URL has been set for an account it can’t be changed or transferred to a different account. We’re sorry but Flickr has a firm policy on this in order to maintain data, metadata, and link integrity. The easiest way to resolve this is to use an available alternative. For example if you are the Healthy Bread Company, /healthybread may be taken but you can try /healthybreadco, /eathealthybread, /healthyslice, /freshhealthybread, /healthybreadcompany, etc. Most people are able to find an alternate URL that works just as well or better. If you believe that your trademark is being infringed by a Flickr member, please use the “Copyright/IP Policy” link at the bottom of any Flickr page and our copyright team will work with you to resolve the issue. However, even if a URL is determined to be infringing we cannot ‘give’ a URL to another user. We can remove the trademark infringing account, but we cannot subsequently give you that URL.
