This work, edited and written by leading experts in the fields of domain name dispute resolution and trade mark law from around the world, provides a comprehensive analysis of the law and practice relating to internet domain names at an international level, combined with a detailed survey of the 27 most important domain name jurisdictions worldwide, including the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, China, Singapore, Russia, Canada and Australia. A particular strength of the book is its in-depth country-by-country focus upon how domain names relate to existing trade mark law, and upon the developing case-law in this field, as well as the alternative dispute resolution procedures in the respective ccTLDs. It assembles detailed information about the registration of domain names at national, regional and international levels, analysis of the dispute resolution processes at each of those levels, and strategic guidance on how to manage domain names as part of an overall brand strategy. The authors also analyse panelist decisions under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the registration procedures and alternative dispute resolution procedure for the new European top level domain '.eu'.
