Rymarz Zdort Maruta has successfully represented DESA Unicum before the Internet Domain Arbitration Court at the Polish Chamber of Information Technology and Telecommunications in a case brought by Desa Dziela Sztuki i Antyki concerning the infringement of rights as a result of an agreement for the maintenance of the desa.pl domain name.
According to Rymarz Zdort Maruta, "both parties to the dispute were associated with the state enterprise "DESA" Dziela Sztuki i Antyki, which was split into two entities in 1991. Over the years, both entities also changed the form of their business, which in both cases, however, concerned trading in works of art and antiques. At the time of the split, it was not possible to establish the consensual use of the disputed 'Desa' name. In dismissing the action of Desa Dziela Sztuki i Antyki against DESA Unicum, the Internet Domain Arbitration Court emphasized the fact that the respondent had succeeded in demonstrating the continuity of the use of the desa.pl domain for activities conducted under the DESA Unicum designation and the long-standing toleration of this state of affairs by the claimant was of key importance for the decision."
The Rymarz Zdort Maruta team included Managing Partner Marcin Maruta and Partner Zbigniew Okon.
