The QIWI Company, which has been actively promoting bitroubles (an electronic currency), has faced cyber squatters. Those register names of sites, where attractive resources may be hosted in future, as their own. When QIWI announced its project, it turned out that several names that have “bitrouble” in them had already been privatized.
Denis Shumskiy, Head of the Intellectual Property Group and Adviser of the Law Firm "YUST", told the Vesti FM station that QIWI could obtain a cyber squatter’s domain through courts, if it alleged the fact of dishonest competition.
