Domain names

While the Internet has many positive attributes, brand owners face difficult issues in policing the use of their trade marks. "Fly-by-night" infringers can cause considerable harm by setting up rogue web sites with confusingly similar names.

Our lawyers advise on a wide range of domain name issues from the bringing of ICANN and Nominet complaints to commencing High Court proceedings for trade mark infringement and passing-off whereby either cancellation or transfer of the domain name registration is sought. We are also able to take advantage of the new statutory provisions for dealing with companies registered at Companies House whose names are considered to be an infringement of our clients registered and unregistered trade mark rights.
