Domain names - The verdict is not the same in the domain name game.
(From Financial Director)
Byline: Tom Berry.
If a company feels that a website domain name registered by a third party infringes on its trademark or identity, it can register a complaint with an arbitration centre through one of the internet registries for adjudication. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is responsible for all domains that end in, for example,.com,.net,.info,.biz, etc. Nominet UK, however, is responsible for all domain names that end in.uk.
Below are four case studies of UK organisations involved in domain name disputes.
Scottish & Newcastle
Scottish & Newcastle (S&N) filed a complaint in December 2002, asserting that Mishref, Kuwait, had registered the domain www.scottishandnewcastle.com in bad faith. S&N's lawyers, Linklaters, had previously tried to contact the respondent Mishref but received no answer.
S&N argued that, as a well-known FTSE-100 company that had previously registered several domain names containing its name, Mishref was assuming a business connection with S&N which it did not have and, in the process, infringed S&N's copyright.
