Burger King Delayed In Russia After Domain Name Dispute
December 23, 3 Comments - Author: Simon Johnson
Burger King has delayed the launch of its Russian expansion until 2010 after failing to register the domain name burgerking.ru.
A Scandinavian company registered the domain name and Burger King Corporation (who registered its trademark in Russia back in 1994) doesn’t want to pay for it.
It appears that this dispute is headed for the Russian courts.

If the domain is registered since 2000 it whould belong to the first owner.
You read Russian newspapers???
I only read Russian newspapers in my spare time.
As an Aussie I’m aware that there is “a world out there”.
Yes. In Russia there is a life.
