論文名 Internet Domain Name Dispute to Which Unfair Competition Prevention
著者 フェアトレード委員会
抄録 There are several types of use of Internet domain names which become subjects of dispute.
They include a domain name identical with, or similar to, a famous trade name of another which was
registered without intention of actual use, a domain name which is actually used to set up a web site at
which one’s own commercial activities are carried out, and a domain name under which a web site is
operated but where no commercial activities are carried out.1)
In this article, we consider from the viewpoint of business operation the scope of “use of
Internet domain names” which may be subject to injunction under the Unfair Competition Prevention
Law, and the limit of the current Unfair Competition Prevention Law, referring to the decision of
Toyama District Court which found for the first time that use of Internet domain names may be
deemed to be “use” of “indication of goods, et al.” owned
