Law & Domains

• in Germany the Domain .ag has a second meaning: AG, Aktiengesellschaft in the sense of a corporation with stockholders like www.bmw.ag.

A German court (5. Zivilsenat des Oberlandesgerichtes Hamburg) ruled in July 2004 in second instance that a .ag domain may only be registered by an Aktiengesellschaft and more precisely by an AG that has the same name as the domain. That means even if you own a company with shareholders in Germany with the name SAP AG, you may not register http://software.ag/ .
