Abstract
The publication explores the legal protection of domain names in the context of their possession based on a legitimate title. It analyzes the concept of a domain name and the legal nature of the rights associated with its registration, as well as the mechanisms provided by the legal system to resolve disputes between parties asserting competing claims to a given domain name. The focus is placed on the preliminary checks during the registration process, subsequent arbitration procedures, judicial remedies, and actions before the Commission on Protection of Competition. The study concludes that there exists a broad range of legal remedies available to affected parties, while also emphasizing the need for a clear regulatory framework grounded in explicit principles governing the legal protection of domain name rights.
