Amterdam - The court in The Hague ruled on Wednesday that Microsoft is the legal owner of all domain names containing the word MSNLOCK.
Two weeks ago Microsoft filed a lawsuit against the Dutch company Unicaresoft. Unicaresoft recently developed a programme called MSNLOCK enabling parents to limit and control their children's usage of Microsoft's popular chat programme MSN.
Microsoft said it owned the rights on the brand MSN and demanded that Unicaresoft transfer the domain names it registered to Microsoft.
The court agreed with Microsoft, explaining Unicaresoft violated the copyright of the brand name MSN.
