Applicable Law
There is no law which specifically deals
with the use of domain names, although we
have laws protecting trade marks and
protecting competition in business:
 Part IV of the Civil Code of Russian
Federation protects rights of a trade mark
owner
 Russian Law on Protection of Competition
 Russian Law on Personal Data

Practical example: dispute
on domain name vw.ru *
Issue of a consideration:
 Infringement of a trade mark owner rights
 Unfair competition
 Abuse of rights
Court established that:
 Domain names, that consists of trade mark or firm name,
 have a commercial value
 Choosing and registration of vw.ru domain name and its
 offer for selling is a form of an unfair competition
 The use of the domain name is damaging business
 reputation of the Plaintiff
 Absence of any information on the site vw.ru is not sufficient
 evidence for its not using
 The use of the trade mark in the domain name is an abuse of right

Recapture Protection in
Russian legislation*
Recapture – registration of a trade mark primarily to obtain a
specific existing domain name from its current administrator
who has registered and uses domain name in good faith
before the registration of trade mark
• Identifiers cannot be registered as trademarks if they are the
same as, or confusingly similar with domain name rights to
which arose in the Russian Federation for other persons
earlier than the priority date of the trademark registration
(Part IV of the Civil Code)
• There is one court decision concerning recapture – firm
named Elec.ru, LLC vs. domain name elec.ru
This court decision was made before the enactment of Civil Court Part
IV

Current practice *
Conflict with the traditional regulation on identifiers, on the one
hand, and with the domain name regulation system, based on a
principle «first come first served», on the other hand
• Nowadays we have about 200 domain name disputes in Russia
• 90% cases – disputes in relation with .RU domain names, a few in
.ORG, .INFO, .COM, .SU
• Most cases are heard in arbitrage courts (Russian courts for
commercial disputes)
• We have one court decision that abolishes WIPO Arbitration and
Mediation Center decision - denso.com: the court recognizes that
settlement of intellectual property disputes through the WIPO
Center cannot be considered as an appropriate arbitration trial
according to the Russian law
