Also , we tried to touch legal system for this name . further more, we clarified the lawful adoption and the picture of clashes that happened between this system and the other shapes of intellectual property . and the ways of solution of these conflicts in front of the local judicial or by political administration to solve the conflicts which created by Al –Ekan foundation . We discovered that Domain Name was tool to address the internet public to particular location like the name of the road in the post address . Nevertheless, it became a tool to show the source of goods or service and symbol to distinguish digitronic location or assumption shop on the net. So that , It became a distinguished sign .

The owner of the location depends on this sign to get the customers and connects them with this location. It’s a distinguished element incorporation with the electronic commercial project element , and place of intellectual ownership must be saved .

Previously speaking, was to protect the Domain Name by trying to approximate it to one or more of the distinguished signs or other rights of the ownership . It is like the publisher and establishment rights. We suggested to register the Domain Name as trading Mark at the begining to be save from any attack, and this protection will be under the commercial Marks law. In UAE, We expect to necessity of legislative enter fear where the internet is useful. Emirates informational internet center is working hard to register the Domain Names in order to limit a cheer legal system for these names and internet addresses in general, and it will not leave the subject just conditions to the users by putting contracts containing many difficult conditions to make the center a side from any responsibility while the user will take all the responsibility.
