An Internet domain is an individual address in the Internet. It is made up essentially of a page designation (Second Level Domain) and a following national or type identifier (Top Level Domain, e.g. .de, .fr, .ch, .at, .eu or .com, .org, .tv, .biz, .info, .name, etc.).

The allocation of an Internet domain is made by application and registration in accordance with the principle of priority. In this connection, the principle of "first come, first served" applies.

In particular in the case of a commercial use of an Internet domain, infringements of third-party rights can occur leading to claims to desist and for damages. The applicant for an Internet domain is obliged to check whether the domain applied for infringes any third-party rights, in particular trademark and name rights.

We can carry out the search into third-party rights as well as the application for an Internet domain for you.
