Paper Summary:

"Trademarks and domain names are a poor fit. One admits many users to a particular space, the other admits only one", says Diane Cabell of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School. The paper critically examines this statement, while explaining how trademark and domain names disputes are resolved currently. The current practices involving cyberspace disputes are analyzed in terms of fairness and allocation of Internet resources of businesses. The paper also examines whether trademark laws should be applicable for resolving trademark and domain name disputes in cyberspace. Related case studies are highlighted and discussed.

From the Paper:

"When an individual applies for a trademark, the trademarks are subjected to restrictions before they can be registered. Domain names on the other hand are on a first-come first serve basis. There is no legislation over what can be registered. Domain name applicants don't need to show that they are the rightful owners and that means anyone can register any available domain name. It is much like the Wild West where the fastest and strongest will be able to register that particular domain name. Given such anarchy in cyberspace, it shows the inherent difficulty in governance."
