Furthermore, useful resources are cited.

The IP tool “Domain names and cybersquatting” can be used as a sound and compact source of information for SMEs, suitable also for self-study. On the other hand, it can be used by (associated) project partners in One-on-One pilot actions, as a guideline and as give-away to be handed over to the SME. Clearly, it is most recommended for counselling of SMEs dealing with domain name issues or attacked by cybersquatting.

It may also be used in an IP Workshop or an IP Training, devoted to domain name issues, maybe contrasting them with trademark issues.
