English teacher Web sites in row over domain names
February 2006
A-kaiwa.net is suing FindaNet over what it says is a violation of
the Unfair Competition Prevention Law, and has asked Yokohama District
Court to order the company and its former president to release the
name.
According to Japan Network Information Center, an organization that
collects information on fights over domain names, there are many
problems with domain names similar to company names being bought up by
Web squatters and people who plan to turn around and resell them. But
this may be the first time a company is suing one of its competitors
over registering a domain name for the purpose of luring away
customers, the center said.
