ON THE POSSIBLE ABUSE OF THE DOMAIN NAME

2021-04-30

We have registered the domain .lt with the suffix. A few weeks later, I received an email from gmail offering to buy the same domain, with the suffix .eu. And if I don’t buy, my domain will be sold to others who trade in accessories and I’m likely to lose customers. Are such actions lawful? I just didn’t think of buying a .eu suffix for the same domain.

Answer:

Please note that domains are not protected and your third-party domain can be purchased by any third party. You are also not restricted in your right to purchase .eu, .com or other domains, except in certain countries, where only nationals of that country are allowed to purchase the domain. This is legal and does not violate any laws.
In case you trade in accessories and have a specific brand, we suggest you consider registering a trademark. In this case, third parties would not be able to use your trademark, and any use would be considered illegal.

Please note that this is a general consultation, we suggest you consult a lawyer for more detailed information.
