Answer 1

The remedies which Frank may not obtain from Cynthia if he prevails in his Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act action is:

a. attorney fees and costs

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) provides that courts may award attorneys' fees for violations of the Act in "exceptional cases" under Section 1117(a). The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act was enacted on November 29, 1999. The law applies to all domain names whether they were registered before the enactment date or after. The Act aims to avoid confusion in domain name registrations.
