ATTENTION ONLINE BUSINESSES:There are two types of registrations necessary to conduct business on the Internet: Trademark and Domain Name. A registered domain name that contains your trademark allows you to use your brand name as the primary component of your Internet address. If your domain name is not trademarked, you stand a chance of losing your valuable name to someone else. The Domain Name Dispute Policy states in part that if your domain name is challenged, you will have 30 days to: 1) submit proof of ownership of a trademark; 2) agree to obtain a new domain name; or 3) go to court.

INTERNATIONAL TRADEMARK NAME SEARCH: The Internet involves us in a global world. Trademarks are country specific with varying rules and laws applying to different countries. The problem is that the use of the Internet involves protection that is international in scope. If you have a domain name, how do you know if the name does not conflict with a trademark in the United States, or Canada, or in Europe? Unless you have the domain name searched for possible trademark conflicts, you are at risk to lose your domain name and website.
