Internet & Domain Names
The internet has provided a new medium to make use of IP rights and also for IP rights to be infringed. In some areas, such as copyright, the copying of the work on the internet gives rise to the same issues as would arise with a traditional hard copy. In other areas, such as trade marks, more difficult issues arise; for example, does use of a trade mark on a French website infringe a registered UK trade mark?
Our experienced team of lawyers can guide you through this rapidly developing, and increasingly, important area of IP law.
Domain names and their misuse can give rise to a number of important legal issues. We are experienced in dealing with domain names disputes, which are likely to be confused with existing brand or company names.
We also regularly advise on the various procedures available to obtain the transfer of a domain name which has been registered in bad faith, often known as “cybersquatting”.
