Servitudes of Intangible Properties

181-188The outer limit of intangible property rights has been a well- debated question since time immemorial. How encompassing is it against the rights of similar property holders? What is the real border of each right holder, which controls and shares the intangible net of rights? There have been attempts to answer these questions since the days of common law practices to the developed written legal systems. All the statutes relating to intellectual property rights (IPR) tried to define the rights conferred. However, a definition cannot demarcate the boundaries of the lights clearly, therefore it is always prone to disputes between various property owners. This overlapping of rights of one over the domains of others has been a major cause of dispute, irrespective of the nature of the property, both tangible and intangible. This paper is mainly confined to conflicting domain names issues; perhaps the solution suggested may be applied for other kinds of intangible property conflicts as well. It also states that intangible rights in the Internet cannot be regulated by applying the same principles laid out in management of other intellectual property rights
