[Chapter-delegates] New ATLARGE Structure Internet Society China

[borka at e5.ijs.si]

Hi,

We had similar situation in Slovenia. We negotiated with the
rogue site owner
and hired an institution for a IPR matters tohelp us.
After a year and half  of negotiotion  based
on our official documents (registration at the gov.offices as a
non-for profit society), state 
approval of our constitution and other public 
available documents (e.g. approval of our charter by Internet Society) we 
managed to disolve the rogue site and to protect "isoc" brand name at the
Slovenian patent and IPR office. The issue is finally closed.
We had  a year and half heavy negotiations  and  some  financial cost 
for  paying the brand name registration at the IPR state office  and the
expert fee of the Institute for IPR protection.

With regards,

Borka Jerman Blazic

ISOC Slovenia
