Domain Names

There is no statute in the UK that deals specifically with domain name rights.
 
The UK’s Nominet system works on a, ‘first come, first served basis’ for registering domain names. A business that fails to register a domain name, may find themselves racking up unnecessary and expensive costs in attempting to reclaim or defend the use of a domain name.
 
One of the first cases that involved the protection of an Internet domain name was Pitman Training Ltd v Nominet UK (1997).

We recently acted on behalf of Bonnier Media group in obtaining an interdict to prevent an infringer from using domain name variations of our clients' Trade Mark.
 
Our team is experienced in dealing with domain name disputes and can advise you as to your rights, the registration procedure, and renewing your domain name, and dispute resolution.
