The internet names or email addresses (domain names) is a modern phenomenon due exclusively to the internet.

Until today the legal world knew the brand, the trademark and the distinctive title. Now he faces an additional good, which concerns only the Internet space: Domain names.

Domain name is the literal representation of a numerical array that determines the identity of each computer when it connects to the world wide web through a provider. Because the numerical sequence is difficult to remember, we associate it with its grammatical representation in one or more words. This word is the electronic address that we type in our browser to visit the corresponding website.

The name used as an e-mail address cannot therefore be random, nor unregulated by law. It is our e-trademark, the e-brand of our business.

In Greece, the competent authority for the performance and operation of domain names ending in .gr is the National Telecommunications and Posts Commission ( E.E.T.T.).
EETT has issued regulations and instructions for the operation of Registrars and the process of registering a domain name.
In addition to EETT, however, in recent years, disputes arising from the use of domain names in Greece are also resolved by the civil courts with Insurance Measures or regular lawsuits.

In the regime of legal complexity surrounding the subject of domain names, the answer lies in the right legal support. The first step to avoid complications with domain names is to correctly register them in correspondence with the business name or trademark.

And of course, when the legal issue has already arisen judicially or extrajudicially, a correct legal assessment of the situation is necessary based on the jurisprudence of the Greek courts formed until recently. Again, the guiding principle is the interest of the customer-entrepreneur, so as to either avoid a pointless, long-term and costly legal battle, or to achieve the most favorable and fairestjudgment.
