Your domain name – your address and business card in the global data network – is often the starting point for extensive legal disputes.
The reason: Only a limited number of terms and names can be used as domains, and meaningful domains have become scarce. Furthermore, the responsible registration authority (DENIC) does not check whether a domain infringes on the rights of third parties during registration. As a result, it frequently happens that domain owners suddenly receive cease-and-desist letters – usually for trademark infringement.
Prevention is the most cost-effective way
Even a cease-and-desist letter can incur costs, and subsequent legal disputes are often based on high amounts in controversy. Prevention is therefore the simplest and most cost-effective way to protect yourself from unpleasant surprises.
