Deal News | Nov 20, 2024 | CEE Legal Matters
Rymarz Zdort Maruta has successfully represented DESA Unicum in a legal case concerning the maintenance of the desa.pl domain name before the Internet Domain Arbitration Court at the Polish Chamber of Information Technology and Telecommunications. The case was brought forth by Desa Dziela Sztuki i Antyki, which claimed infringement of rights due to the domain agreement. Both parties originated from a state enterprise that split in 1991 into two separate entities engaging in art and antique trading. The Internet Domain Arbitration Court dismissed the claim by Desa Dziela Sztuki i Antyki, emphasizing the established continuity and long-standing use of the domain by DESA Unicum. The legal team from Rymarz Zdort Maruta, including Managing Partner Marcin Maruta and Partner Zbigniew Okon, was instrumental in the success of this case.
