Domain names constitute sources but also targets of malicious practices on the Internet, including cybersquatting, typosquatting and phishing. Yet specialists are still struggling to classify the numerous types of abuse to which they are subject and to act with the appropriate legal tools.

For domain name professionals it is imperative to master the legal context and the most appropriate solutions for identifying, preventing and putting a stop to these various kinds of abuse and thus support their clients in protecting and defending their rights (domain names, brands and trademarks, signs and logos, corporate names, etc.).

Managing and securing a portfolio of domain names – Key Accounts

A portfolio of domain names is an invaluable asset for an organisation. And yet in many cases it is the result of several decades of acquisitions carried out haphazardly, with no unified standards and with no one in charge. The risks entailed by this scattered approach are numerous: uncontrolled costs, poor online brand protection, endangering the information system, damage to the brand image, etc. It is nowadays essential to put in place a pertinent and effective domain names policy in order to protect your digital territory and your brand in the broader sense.
