    Domain Name DRS Policies: from the sublime to the rediculous

    Domain Name DRS Policies: from the sublime to the rediculous

    I read this a few months ago and, from memory, it points out some pretty serious defects in the text of Regulation 874/2004 (which contains the substantive rules governing .eu dispute resolution). In fact, I think I have a copy somewhere... ... Willoughby's main criticisms of .eu ADR...

    Trademarks

    privelage.co.uk decision

    Unlike court litigation, there are no damages or other financial penalties (or for that matter costs orders against respondents) in Nominet DRS proceedings or in UDRP proceedings. If what you are doing constitutes trade mark infringement (or gives rise to another cause of action e.g. under...

    privelage.co.uk decision

    "when they are giving in to all the misspellings of privelige, you have to ask, are they unbiased?" It's not Nominet making the decisions, but the appointed experts. Most of the experts are practising IP lawyers, so they're professionally acclimatised to serve big corporations. That said...
