Request for disclosure of personal data

Afnic’s subsequent actions

Afnic will examine your request as soon as possible in light of the reasons given and may proceed to lift anonymity in the event of the identical or nearly identical reproduction of:

• a previously registered trademark protected in France,
• a previously registered distinctive sign (company name, business name, trading name or logo protected in France, domain name),
• a previously registered title protected by French copyright law,
• a family name or pseudonym.

Afnic’s examination focuses particularly on the similarity of the signs and does not extend to the content of websites.

In the event that your request is declined, you may resort to the other procédures provided by Afnic’s Naming Charter, namely an ex parte application to a judge for an order or filing a claim with the authorised dispute resolution bodies.

Disclosure of personal data granted by Afnic does not constitute acknowledgement of a infringement, as defined in the provisions of Article  L.45-2 of the French Post and Electronic Communications Code (CPCE), caused by the registration or renewal of the domain name.
