Abstract EN

Social media websites have made a quality jump in the electronic technical development that has invaded our life and has left clear imprints on all aspects of our life.

Commercial life is no exception.

Some web pages have been used for trade; they carried names that are indicative of that, and attracted customers.

The launchers of these pages have strived to keep constant contact with their customers through those pages.

This has raised a serious question related to the degree to consider these web pages as online shops.

In order to answer this question, we first considered the basic elements of the online shop which establish its status as an electronic one, and those nonessential elements of which the absence does not prevent establishing its status as an online shop.

We concluded that all essential elements are available in these pages which justify considering them as online shops.

This entails considering the name of the page as a trade name which is eligible for protection by registering it in a special register.

This also calls for considering the setting of the page, when it meets the required standards, as an industrial design which is eligible of protection as well.

the results based on that are related to the ability of disposing this page in return for allowance, as it is considered a legitimate property of value, and the ability of mortgaging and leasing it, in addition to other acts of disposal, which also raised serious questions about the mechanism to achieve this.

In light of this, we hope that the Jordanian legislator keeps abreast of these rapid developments by organizing this issue legally in a way that observes the special features of this new form of shops rather than resisting it since it has become an entity that imposes itself internationally, regionally and locally
