Through the comunication and commerce evolution the infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights expanded to this new relation field called Internet.

Our reality of the facts shows us that the Intellectual Property Protection has been more than ever necessary. We see all the time trademarks being registered as domain names in the internet (Ex: Domain Name www.americaonline.com.br registered by the WGM Serviços e Cont. a Banco de Dados Ltda. Enterprise by the real owner of the trademark Aol Brasil Ltda. and América Online Inc.). We also can see music copies and reprodution through the internet without the authorization of the authors; Books, texts and paints are copied through the internet without authorization and other ways of rights violation across the World Wide Web.

The protection of the Intellectual Property Rights on the internet can be done by the registration of the rights in the specific Offices for registration of trademarks, patents, industrial designs, software and copyright. Also the companies must register their names and their trademarks as domain names in the internet (Ex: www.mycompany.com.br).

Nowadays it is possible to solve conflicts involving companies' name and trademarks with domain names registered in the internet by other company or person. The Conflict System Resolution of the World Intellectual Property Organization - WIPO it's the faster and cheapest way to solve this kind of conflicts without a judicial case.

About the other Intellectual Property Rights we can say that we have all national and international intellectual property system to protect the legal rights against violations through the internet. After all, we still have legal ways to obtain reparations for the damages caused by the violator.
