Due to somewhat incomprehensive IP laws along with uncertainty of legal protection rendered under the national justice system of Ukraine, cybersquatting has evolved into a profitable and widespread business.

In legal terms in the Ukraine, a domain name is defined as a name used to address computers and resources on the internet.
