>ACCC Alleges Misleading Conduct by Internet Name Group
>
>
>The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has instituted
>Federal Court proceedings against domain name reseller Internet Name
>Protection Pty Ltd, trading as Internet Name Group, and its director, Mr
>Mark Spektor. 
>
>The ACCC is seeking interlocutory and permanent injunctions, alleging
>misleading and deceptive conduct in relation to Internet Name Group's
>marketing of domain name services. 
>
>The ACCC alleges that since approximately July 2000, Internet Name Group
>has made false or misleading representations regarding registration and
>renewal of Internet domain names. In particular, it is alleged that
>Internet Name Group has made and is continuing to make representations
>to various businesses to the effect that it: 
>
>- had a pre-existing relationship or prior dealing with them; 
>
>- has the authority to register or renew a consumer's domain name and
>can provide the services of registration or renewal; 
>
>- could register ".com.au" domain names on the Internet for periods of
>four, six, eight, or 10 years and that registration for periods over two
>years would involve savings; and 
>
>- has the sponsorship, approval, affiliation or authority that it does
>not have. 
>
>Among other things, the ACCC is seeking to restrain Internet Name Group
>from continuing to represent that it is necessary for Internet Name
>Group to have access to a "registry key" before a registration of a
>domain name can be renewed. 
>
>The ACCC will also be seeking orders including: 
>
>- declarations that the conduct of Internet Name Protection breached
>relevant provisions of the Trade Practices Act 1974; 
>
>- injunctions restraining Internet Name Protection from engaging in the
>same conduct in the future; 
>
>- corrective advertising; 
>
>- an order requiring Internet Name Protection and Mr Spektor to
>undertake a trade practices compliance program; 
>
>- refunds; and 
>
>- costs. 
>
>The claim for interlocutory relief is listed to be heard in the Federal
>Court, Melbourne on 26 April 2002 at 10.15 a.m.
