My legal experience: domain names

Hi all! Here you can find a little bit info about my work experience and skills related to such interesting part of IP laws and assets as domain names (about me see here). Feel free to call me for any related issues and do not forget to check my blog on #domain names new posts.

Work experience

A 10+ years everyday work experience with intellectual property. A part of work is related domain names (funny fact - they are have not recognized by Russian laws and courts as IP). In respect of domain names, the are several examples of such my work:

all UDRP cases (.aero, .io, .com) administered by me have been solved in our favor (e.g. Case No. D2015-0363)
legal support of brand top-level-domain name ".yandex"
drafting and negotiating agreements (e.g. acquisition and sales of domain names, transfer the rights on domain names)
domain names claims management (drafting, negotiations, acquiring rights)
