Registrar Secura

Many Austrian companies have their name, key products and services under the domain at secured. What is often overlooked: The Austrian namespace knows co.at and or.at. ICANN Registrar Secura ( has noted in an analysis that many Austrian companies to more important names, trademarks, product names, and do not have at co.at. Or.at protected. Just one example of many: The upper bank has registered oberbank.at course. The domains and oberbank.co.at oberbank.or.at are free. Anyone could oberbank.co.at oberbank.or.at and secure. That there is another way, shows the Austrian press agency APA: It has, as a cautious businessman under-apa. At. Co.at and leave. Or.at register. What can happen: bold competitors to secure the freedom of ideas at co.at and or.at The simultaneous emergence of the concepts characterizing the competition in search engines, press releases, business cards and publications, leading to confusion among the public. Results: The mark ofName and hence the product or services are damaged in their value. To clarify the situation, must often be initiated legal action that cost a multiple of the original registration fee. Cybersquatter, and Domainhaendler register the trade marks, names and terms of the companies under co.at and / or or.at. Then there are two versions: The cybersquatter then offers the domain to the legitimate owner for the purchase. The legitimate owner must pay a multiple of the registration fee, to buy his domain name. The second option looks like that the domain cybersquatter offered to the general public. If it is a good idea, this is quite an opportunity. Buyer may also again be the competitor or his brazen another speculator who wants to sell the domain. Hans-Peter Oswald
