Samsung in battle over internet name
South Korea's best-known company, Samsung Electronics, is tied up in a court battle with a local food supply chain over an Internet domain name.
The small chain which makes a popular Korean-style fast food, has filed a lawsuit appealing against an earlier decision that the company should hand over their domain name to Samsung.
The domain name causing the problem is: www.sens.co.kr.
Samsung registered 'SENS' as a trademark for its computers and monitors in May 1996 while the chain registered its domain name two years later.
Samsung recently won a hearing at the country's Internet Address Dispute Resolution Committee which ruled that the domain name should be handed over to Samsung.
The chain store is complaining they have been using the domain name for products and businesses that have nothing to do with computers and monitors.
