• Sommario/riassunto: The Domain Name System (DNS), which matches computer addresses to human-friendly domain names, has given rise to many legal issues. Two important issues are - arrangements for governing the DNS, and the use of trade marks as domain names. This book examines the extent to which principles of national trade mark law have been used in UDRP decisions.
