隨著網路快速發展，如何使網站響亮出名，擁有一個好記、獨特的網域名稱 (domain name) 便是成功關鍵。由於網域名稱註冊採取「先申請、先註冊」(first come, first served) 原則，意圖獲取暴利者往往搶先註冊高知名度之他人事業名稱或商標，再與真正權利人交涉賣回，爭議於是生焉。由於上述爭議可能涉及涉外因素 (foreign element) 及虛擬空間 (cyberspace)，使得法律適用之複雜性相對提高。本文研究主題爲含有涉外因素網域名稱爭議之解決，首先，說明網域名稱之相關概念。其次，評估網路規範適用之可能性與界限。再者，探討涉外網域名稱爭議之國際管轄權與準據法等諸問題。最後，總結全文、提出研究成果，期能對我國涉外網域名稱爭議之發展與實踐發揮拋磚引玉之效。
