Domain Name Protection and Strategy
Legal support for domain registration, disputes, and digital rights management.
The rapid expansion of the internet as a commercial and strategic environment has led to a wide range of legal challenges—many of which remain only partially addressed by traditional legislation. Domain names, in particular, often sit at the intersection of intellectual property, unfair competition, and digital governance.
