Registration and Protection of Domain Names

Overview

In today’s digital world, a domain name is not just a technical address for a website, but a crucial element of a brand and a valuable intangible asset of a company. Choosing and timely registering the right domain name is critical for a business’s online presence and recognition. At the same time, there is a risk of third parties registering similar or identical domain names for bad-faith purposes (cybersquatting), which can harm your reputation and mislead customers.

Our Services

Our law firm provides consulting and legal services related to domain names. We help you choose a domain name, taking into account not only its availability but also potential conflicts with existing trademarks. While we are not technical registrars ourselves, we support the registration process in relevant domain zones (e.g., .UA, .COM.UA, .COM, .EU, and others), ensuring compliance with all rules and requirements.

A key aspect of our services is the protection of your domain name rights. We provide legal assistance in resolving domain disputes, including preparing cease-and-desist letters to bad-faith registrants, representing interests in alternative dispute resolution procedures (e.g., under UDRP rules for international domains or UA-DRP for the .UA domain), as well as litigating cases regarding trademark infringement through the use of similar domain names.
