Domain names are an important consideration and integral part of any intellectual property portfolio.

Just as a trade mark is used to distinguish and identify the goods or services of one trader from those of others in the "real world", a domain name performs this function on the Internet. For major brands, or where business is anticipated over the Internet, domain names should be cleared and registered in parallel with trade marks.

Our attorneys and solicitors provide a seamlessly integrated service addressing both non-contentious and contentious domain name management and rights enforcement.

We are able to assist you the following areas

  • Registering your trade mark as a domain name
  • Domain name watching service
  • Effective action against cybersquatters
  • Representing clients in dispute resolution
  • Domain recovery

Domain dispute services

We have extensive experience of obtaining the transfer of domain names improperly registered by third parties.
