Having written the only UK book of which we know focused solely on domain name law we have enormous experience of this area.
We have been involved in a wide range of domain name cases. Some examples are set out below.
1. Complaints by a party which feels that a third party has registered a name which should rightfully belong to it not the third party:
| www.bernardmatthews.co.uk |
We managed to secure the domain name for the well known turkey producer which had been registered by someone who had the same name but whose claim to be using the name legitimately we proved to be tenuous |
| www.hollyvalance.com |
We managed to secure the name for the well-known actress and recording artiste. It had been registered by an unconnected party and then diverted to an adult site.
Again, we proved bad faith. |
| www.post-office.co.uk |
We managed to secure a settlement for our client who had registered the name and was challenged by the Post Office who claimed that it infringed their trade mark. |
2. Where a competitor has used a trade mark of one of our clients for paid ad searches like google adwords.
3. Where a competitor has embedded our client's trademark into its website meta data.
Whatever your issue, we will provide a free outine review and opinion if you can provide us with a summary of the facts
