DOMAIN NAME DISPUTE SOLVING IN PRACTICE OF THE COURT OF CONCILIATION FOR INTERNET DOMAINS AT POLISH CHAMBER OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS (Rozstrzyganie sporów o nazwy domen internetowych)

Court of Conciliation for Internet Domains at Polish Chamber of Information Technology and Telecommunications is one of the three Conciliation Courts referred to in NASK (Polish domain name registrar) regulations. Legal acts quoted most often by the prosecutors are business property act, competition and consumer protection act and civil code regulations. Decisions of the Court provide interesting reflection on the scope of applicability of registered trademark, right to protect the reputation and brand. There are also disadvantages of the Court activity, e.g. large scope of anonymity or vague role of the arbiters acting as the party representative to the Court. Still, Court's output plays an important role in defining practical and doctrinal foundations of the IT law.
