Resolving Disputes Related to Internet Domain Names and New Solutions in European Union Legislation
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the importance and position of the norms governing the rights of trademark owners in relation to domain name registrations. The entire framework is regulated by rules adopted independently by companies that provide services of internet infrastructure, names, and numbering. On the other hand, legislators sometimes must interfere to improve that framework. UDRP rules are 25 years old now, and they serve the purpose for that long period, but relevant improvements are welcome. Although not adopted by the legislator, these rules contain an essential part of the norms that govern the functioning of critical Internet infrastructure and the rights of users.
