Corporatesquatting
The corporatesquatting , indicates the practice of large companies to massively record names or Marques on Internet in order to adapt the exclusive use of it, although they belong and are already used by natural persons or small companies.
It is then a question of forcing the beneficiaries to give up the use of it, by various means of pressure of which aggressive assignments in front of the courts (that having them right very often do not have the means of financing). The final objective is to obtain the exclusive use of the name or the mark. The law on the marks, i.e. of protection of the marks, being " with the dessus" practices aiming at using a name without having the right of it. The first which registers a mark on the Internet sees owner of the way which carries out towards space (i.e. the site), if allocated space there is, but that which has the true property on the name has in any event with the eyes of justice, the real property of the name.
If there is no allocated space, the plaintiff must prove that which bought this name it did in the intention to harm to the owner of the mark. If it is not the case, the plaintiff wire-drawer in general, if it wishes to continue his complaint, that the non-utilization of the mark carry damage to him. One can return thus in several complications that the large corporations can handle perfectly to cover their right on the property of a name.
The term of corporatesquatting is to be put in relation to that of Cybersquattage , in English Cybersquatting .
