Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

With the widening influence of the internet in our daily lives, the importance of trademarks has acquired a new dimension, particularly with respect to domain names. This is essential if you want to successfully promote your goods or services among the consumers by means of your domain name.

The moment you are a trademark owner of a domain name, you can take legal action against a firm for making use of a similar name and thus confusing the public into believing that you, the genuine trademark owner, are in some way connected to their web site.

Getting a domain name registered must always be preceded by comprehensive research, in order to avoid any possibility of trademark violation. The search must involve a detailed look at marks that are quite similar in appearance, pronunciation or even meaning to the name you have selected for your website. It is vital to register a domain only after properly confirming that it does not infringe upon any trademarks.

For attaining this, it is preferable to engage the services of a cyber law practitioner, who can advise you in cyber related trademark issues. This will protect you from serious trademark violation action that may be raised in future.

You must also keep in mind that the domain name that you are seeking to register should be capable of serving as a quick identifier of your products and service and should be more than an online address to bring net users to your website.

Besides domain name infringement, there is a new problem of keyword infringement in cyberspace. It basically means violation of trademarks and their usage as keywords through posting of promotional ads on advertising networks like Yahoo and Google, with the motive of confusing the consumer.

However, it must be noted that such usage by advertisers is not considered an act of infringement if by making use of the trademark the advertiser aids in the sale of the goods or services of the original trademark holder, and not act as his rival.
