In this case, owner of the trademark has the right with the lawsuit to demand only the transfer of the internet domain from the one who has registered it to itself, or to demand termination of registration. If the plaintiff wants to get some of the seven rights mentioned above, he would have to apply to the regular court.<\/p>

The procedure for resolving the dispute begins by filing the lawsuits.<\/p>

Before filing the lawsuit, the plaintiff may submit a request to the registry for information about the owner of the domain (registrant).<\/p>

6. \u00a0 \u00a0The evidence on which the decision is based and should to be considered.<\/p>

With the lawsuit, the names of three arbitrators from official list should be proposed, from which the presidency of Commission grants the prosecutor first available arbiter from the proposed list. Moreover, with the lawsuit the registration fee payment receipt must be submitted.<\/p>

The complaint shall be submitted in electronic form and in five printed copies, as well. The admission day is considered to be the day of receipt of duly filed lawsuit in a printed form.<\/p>

After receiving the complaint, the Commission forwards it to the registrant to explain itself. Debate and dispute will be opened only if the tribunal determines that it would be expedient.<\/p>

The process ends by the adoption of a final decision or by the arbitration panel\u2019s conclusion that the process is terminated (suspended).<\/p>

The process can be suspended: when the plaintiff withdraws his claim, in the event of parties\u2019 mutual agreement, if during the proceedings the regular court makes final judgment on the matter which is the subject of the dispute, the arbitration panel determines that the continuation of the process is unnecessary or impossible.<\/p>

Arbitration decision is final and there is no possibility for legal remedy.<\/p>

Execution of the decision which allows the transfer or termination of registration is conducted by the National Register of Internet Domain of Serbia.<\/p>
