Our recent KAFI-Legal session was conducted by Pranjal Gupta, Trainee Associate (Trademarks), who presented a comprehensive and insightful discussion on the topic of “Trademark and Domain Name Disputes”

The presentation delved into:

• Importance of protecting domain names as valuable digital assets akin to trademarks.
• Explained legal mechanisms like the UDRP and INDRP for resolving disputes over cybersquatting and bad-faith registrations, referencing cases such as Yahoo! Inc. v. Subrata Saha and Reliance Industries v. Shyam Sunder Soni.
• Addressed issues like cybersquatting, meta-tagging, and linking, citing the JioHotstar.com dispute as an example of bad-faith registration.
• Emphasized how global and national policies safeguard intellectual property rights efficiently.

This session helped our team enhance their understanding of strategies to address cybersquatting and protect intellectual property rights effectively.
