[Domain Name Dispute] Proof of Delivery regarding Domain Transfer Claim

A is a company operating virtual currency exchanges at home and abroad, using the domain www. A. kr to operate A’s exchange. Despite this, V, which has no relation to A, was causing confusion to consumers by connecting V’s virtual currency exchange through the A.kr domain.

Therefore, A commissioned Law Firm Veat for legal advice regarding a solution to V’s illegal act.

Law Firm Veat sent a certified letter demanding that V, which was using the same A.kr domain name as A’s brand name for illicit purposes, immediately cease use of the domain and transfer the domain, based on Article 12 of the Internet Address Source Act (Internet Address Source Act) and Article 2 of the Act on Unfair Competition and Protection of Trade Secrets (Unfair Competition Act).

Domain names are created to make internet protocol addresses easier for people to remember on the internet; however, as in this case, there are many disputes regarding the registration, holding, and use of domain names. If there is a competitor using a domain name by utilizing another company’s brand name without justifiable reason, please consult with Law Firm Veat to resolve domain name disputes.

Thank you.
