Domain Names
Infringement
The best method to avoid conflict of trade marks is to search the trade mark databases. It provides all the registered and pending trademarks information.
The regulations governing copyright issues for domain names are governed by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
It is very likely the right for a domain name registration would be lost if:
- A name has been intentionally chosen that is similar to another domain name or trademark to create consumer confusion
- A business is not carried under the proposed name
- The individual, or any other individual in the company, carries a name that is the same or similar
- It is the sole intention of the applicant to sell the domain name to a competitor for financial gain
