Trademark Protection in the Internet

Our trademark attorneys successfully combat infringements of exclusive trademark rights online.

We carry out systematic work to fight violations of trademark rights in domain names.

Today, companies very often face infringements of their trademark rights in the Internet. We have successfully protected the trademark rights of Samsung. The company’s trademarks were unlawfully and extensively used in domain names when advertising service centers and electronics stores. With the right approach, many infringements were stopped at the pre-trial stage, while others had to be resolved in court.

Such cases often involve a complex circle of participants: in addition to the domain administrator, there may be actual users whose identification and involvement is not always easy. However, if this work is not carried out consistently and systematically, the Internet environment quickly becomes “overgrown” with numerous infringements. This has a detrimental effect on the reputation of a mark, since infringers—while promoting their goods and services and increasing Internet traffic through a well-known trademark—often offer poor-quality services or counterfeit goods.
