Particular attention is paid to the international management of domain names and legal grounds of the issue. Given that the topic of protection of domain names is relatively little explored, particular primary sources of relevant information will be subject to review, ie international standards and laws, as well as technical articles and case law. Resources will be handled mainly by descriptive and analytical research method, sometimes complemented by a historical method.

Resumé Unfair Competition (Conception of Legal Regulation, Selected Facts in Issue) Cybersquatting - a term that is often used but less often defined. The purpose of this Thesis is to deal with this phenomenon, to try to define it and mainly to assess applicability of the legal regulation of unfair competition not only to this phenomenon but also to other unfair practices in the field of information technologies connected in some way with domain names. The Thesis has been divided into two basic parts: The first part deals with the conception of the legal regulation of unfair competition in the Czech Republic. Here, the signs of the general clause contained in Section 44(1) of the Commercial Code are discussed in detail and the doctrine of competitive relations that is mostly applied in practice is critically evaluated. The first part of this Thesis also includes a proposal for a solution to overcoming the limits of this doctrine in the form of a two-stage test of practices in commercial intercourse whose part is the proposed conception of the economic conflict of interest which allows the persons involved to take legal actions against those competitors who use unfair practices despite their company's objects being quite different. In this part, the reader can even find some de lege ferenda considerations...

Domain names as trademarks and their protection Martin Pultzner Importance of the internet is rising year to year and the virtual presence on the world- wide-web is absolutely essential for companies trying to succeed in such a competitive and dynamic environment as we see it in the modern world of 21st century. Due to the architecture of an internet as such, only one particular domain name can be registered at the given time and no other domain name with the exactly same wording can be registered anywhere in the world at the same time. There is a strict "first-come-first served" policy, which, on the one side, grants equal and fair access to any domain name, but on the other hand creates significant room for domain speculators and other persons who intend to register domain names in a bad faith and/or only for the profit therefrom. We mainly recognize behavior called cybersquatting or typosquatting, but also others subtypes and similar types of such behavior do exist under different names. These are problematic because of the conflict of a domain name (registered by the speculator) and rights to the trademark, business name or other rights of a different person, mostly a company. Internet users can therefore be misled by the domain name, presuming that it belongs to the known company and get...

One of the legal issues, which brought by the development of information and communication technologies, is also the issue of domain names.

Therefore it was necessary to provide legal protection for domain names.Legal system of the Czech Republic does not contain specific legal act of domain names.

The trademark is one of the most effective means of protection for domain names.

<p>Because of the development of the Internet and the rapid increase of the electronic commercial, the incidents on stealing the consumers' personal identify data and financial account credentials are becoming more and more common. This phenomenon is called phishing. Now phishing is so popular that web sites such as papal , eBay, MSN, Best Buy, and America Online are frequently spoofed by phishers. What’s more, the amount of the phishing sites is increasing at a high rate.</p><p>The aim of the report is to analyze different phishing phenomenon and help the readers to identify phishing attempts. Another goal is to design an anti-phishing system which can detect the phishing e-mails and then perform some operations to protect the users. Since this is a big project, I will focus on the mail detecting part that is to analyze the detected phishing emails and extract details from these mails.</p><p>A list of the most important information of this phishing mail is extracted, which contains “mail subject”, “ mail received date”, “targeted user”, “the links”, and “expiration and creation date of the domain”. The system can presently extract this information from 40% of analyzed e-mails.</p>
