Protecting Your Online Presence
In today's digital age, the Internet serves as a vital platform for a myriad of commercial transactions, from e-commerce to electronic banking. As businesses strive to establish their presence in the virtual landscape, domain names play a pivotal role in defining their online identities.
However, with the increasing importance of domain names comes the risk of disputes and infringements.
Domain names are more than just web addresses; they serve as crucial identifiers in the online realm. Just as consumers rely on trademarks to distinguish between products and services, internet users depend on domain names to access specific websites and obtain information. As such, domain names have assumed functions similar to trademarks, including distinction, source designation, guarantee, and advertisement.
While the global nature of the Internet has revolutionized commerce, it has also introduced complexities in legal frameworks, particularly in areas such as intellectual property and competition policy. As businesses seek to protect their online assets, domain name disputes have become increasingly prevalent. From conflicts over trademark/domain name ownership to other forms of trademark infringement online, businesses must navigate a complex legal landscape to safeguard their interests.
We offer legal services to assist clients in resolving domain name disputes effectively.
From representation before Intellectual Property Courts, the Regional Court of Appeals, the Court of Cassation/Supreme Court, and Dispute Resolution Service Providers (DSRPs) in Turkey to advocacy before the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center, our team is equipped to handle domain name-related issues.
