| 13:30-15:00 | Section 6. Domain dispute resolution and enforcement of court decisions Moderator: Marina Rozhkova (Doctor of Law, Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation, IP CLUB) Lawyers consider domain disputes difficult cases because the rights for a domain name are not regulated by any law directly, and when hearing these disputes the courts rely on laws regulating intellectual property and competition. However, domain disputes have other specific traits, too: special approaches to the examination of these cases as well as the execution of the court decisions. This will be the discussion topic for this section.
