Online Patent and Webnames launched partnership program

25.07.2016

Online Patent and Webnames launched partnership program providing all persons who registered a domain name with a possibility to obtain online Certificate of Trademark Registration in the Russian Federal Service for Intellectual Property. Registration of exclusive legal rights to domain as a trademark allows ensuring reliable legal protection for a website.

“It is critical to ensure reliable protection for all efforts and money invested in purchase and promotion of a domain,” Webnames representatives say. “There are many examples when competitors with similar domain names defend their rights to a certain domain at court. In such cases, a person who registered the domain and spent money on its development is not always a winner.”

“Indeed, it is a common case when companies pursue their rights to use a domain at court,” confirms Alina Akinshina, Operations Director of Online Patent. “For example, I can recall a case when Aeroflot together with its affiliate Dobrolet filed a claim to court against owner of dobrolet-avia.ru domain and demanded to transfer rights to such domain administration. Similar claims were filed by CTC Media Holding, which after launch of CTC-Love channel demanded from owner of ctc-love.ru and ctclove.ru domains to transfer them to the TV company. There are also other examples.

Registration of a domain name as a trademark in the Russian Federal Service for Intellectual Property will serve as a legal confirmation and guarantee that an owner does not infringes rights, and its own rights are under protection, too. In court proceedings, the owner of a registered domain will be the winner.”

An application shall be filed via Online Patent. It takes two business days to prepare an application.
