Does Your Domain Name Need a Trade Mark?

[neddy]

On Domainer today we have a guest post from Melbourne based trade mark lawyer Victor Ng.

Topics that he covers include:

• Domain name risks
• The auDA complaint
• Business names
• UDRP / auDRP complaint

Hope you get some benefit from the article - Victor writes really well.

If you have a valuable domain name, you need a registered trade mark.

Lawyer sales pitch alert!

This advice is going to run up a lot of unnecessary legal expenses for people.

Don't forget that people who are on this forum hold some pretty valuable names, to register a ™ yourself (in one class) is around $300, (for 10 years)
I hold a ™ on my business, I consider that for me to be worthwhile..

informative article.. Thank you!

New forum thread area to discuss all RDNH and why Australia needs to have the same policy as Canada to help stop it https://www.dntrade.com.au/threads/reverse-domain-name-hijacking-rdnh.10784/#post-80391
Canada imposes a $5000 fine against complaints guilty of RDNH Reverse Domain Name Hijacking. Auda needs to bring in the same rule and panelists need to enforce it!
