Computernik OÜ invests in domain names. Our portfolio includes generic words, short names, acronyms and descriptive domains that are used, developed, leased or sold for their own economic value.
A domain name is a scarce digital asset: only one party can register a given name. Owning a generic word or descriptive name does not itself mean an attempt to exploit another company’s trademark, trade name or reputation.
Cybersquatting and investment are different things
Bad-faith domain registration means a name is registered or used to harm a prior rights holder, mislead users, or sell the domain specifically to that rights holder in a way that indicates bad faith.
Domain investment is different. Domains made of generic words, descriptive terms or short names may be held for their general value, especially when use does not present the owner as someone else or exploit a trademark.
The Domain Disputes Committee decision on investor.ee
On 9 February 2026, the Domain Disputes Committee dismissed Investor AS’s claim to transfer investor.ee. The registrant was Computernik OÜ.
The Committee noted that trading in domain names is the registrant’s lawful business activity, and that assembling and holding domains composed of acronyms, dictionary words or common expressions can be good-faith activity and is not unlawful in itself.
The Committee found that “investor” is a descriptive generic word, and it was not proven that investor.ee was registered in order to sell it specifically to the complainant or a competitor.

What this means
This decision does not mean every domain dispute is automatically unfounded. Each case depends on the specific name, use, rights and evidence.
It does confirm an important principle: owning and selling a generic or descriptive domain name is not cybersquatting in itself.
