"The phenomenon called Cybersquatting consists in the registration as domain names of well-known trademarks by non trademarks holders. When the well-known name is registered, the "speculator" demands the owner of the famous trademark the payment of a large amount of money, to get the domain name. This paper discusses the different ways U.S. and the Swiss legal system have been facing the phenomenon, enacting regulations and deciding cases related to the matter".
