| Title | TRADEMARK AND DOMAIN NAME INTERFACE: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE LEGISLATION OF THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC |
| Summary | Internet has brought numerous challenges to the intellectual property legislation, and in particular, trademark law. Trademarks serve as a source of identifier of goods, while the domain name function through representing Internet Protocol addresses is the same. Both are registered on a first-come-first-served basis. Yet uniqueness of each string of alphanumeric characters as an Internet address and global nature of domain names differ from traditional trademark law features such as territoriality and specificity allowing similar trademarks co-exist for different classes of goods and services. These distinguishing features resulted in emergence of such phenomenon as “cybersquatting” and its numerous variations. The efficient mechanisms for trademark and domain name disputes resolution have been developed in the U.S. legislation and through Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy elaborated by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. The Kyrgyz laws regulating trademark and domain name interface are ill-equipped for settlement of such disputes. Therefore, amendments and adoption of new legal acts, guidelines and policies based on UDRP, laws and case law of other countries are necessary to establish efficient legislative framework regulating trademark and domain name disputes in .kg zone. |
