A domain name is considered to be of paramount importance in today’s world since it constitutes an irreplaceable asset in the hands of the legitimate holder.
GTG regularly liaises on behalf of clients with NIC (Malta), the authority responsible for handling the domain name registration for the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Malta, i.e. <.mt>.
Due to the uniqueness of domain names and their monetary value, cyber-squatting cases are not a rare occurrence. Cyber-squatters register and use a domain name maliciously to profit from the goodwill or a trademark belonging to someone else. The firm has handled a number of domain name-related disputes at the ICANN international dispute-resolution forum aimed at reversing domain names registered by cyber-squatters. |
