Canada Post in dispute over Internet domain name
Article Abstract:
Canada Post Corp is asking the British Columbian Supreme Court to rule in its favor regarding the use of an Internet domain name. Canada Post said that software firm CyPost Corp should refrain form using www.cypost.com because it will confuse customers who will be using its online business sites, www.cyberpost.com and www.cyberposte.com. CyPost has been using the domain name since 1997 to sell its e-mail security software products.
