Trademark Domain Protection: When to Do It
Ideally trademark registration and domain name registration go hand in hand. You may have the perfect trademark for your business, but what happens if the domain name is not available? It may not be worth the hassle of positioning your new brand in the market place if possible clients are unable to find you online easily through your trademark name.
Every business should aim to have identical trademarks and domain names for their business. This is not always possible if a correct strategy is not put in place from the start. Trademark Regent's trademark domain resolution service helps businesses protect their online presence and brand reputation by resolving domain name disputes. With the rise of cybersquatting and domain hijacking, it's becoming increasingly important for businesses to secure their online trademarks. Trademark Regent also provide ongoing monitoring to prevent future trademark infringement. With our trademark domain resolution service, businesses can rest assured that their online trademarks are protected and secure.
Difference Between Trademark & Domain Names
Trademarks protect the name or design a business uses to differentiate itself from competitors that offer similar goods or services.
Domain names are the words used to connect you with a website. Without domain names you would have to know the IP address of a website to access it.
A Trademark application is done before the patent and trademark office of the country in which you want to protect it. Trademark registration usually requires you to be represented by an IP law firm.
A domain name is registered through a domain name registry that is not necessarily associated with a specific country. As a general rule anybody can register a domain name directly through the registry and the services of a law firm are not necessary.
The trademark owner will only have rights to the trademark in the country or countries they have effectively registered the trademark in.
The domain name owner has exclusive rights to use the domain name as registered. Top level domains are accessible over the internet from anywhere in the world.
Even in a single country identical trademarks can be registered under different classes if they are for unrelated products or services.
In the case of domain names identical domain names cannot exist in a single top level domain. Top level domains is the last portion of a domain name. Examples of top level domains are “com”, “net and “org”.
Information about the trademark owner will always be publicly available.
Information about the owner of a domain name can be hidden in certain cases by paying extra fees.
A registered trademark constitutes intellectual property.
A domain name does not grant intellectual property rights.
