Trademark is an identity created to recognize and distinguish one goods and services from another. Trademark registration allows the applicant to have exclusive ownership rights and it restricts all others from its unauthorized usage and allows the owner of registered trademark to sue or claim damages for any infringement.
Risks for using a trademarked brand name in a domain name are as follows:
- If the brand is a registered trademark, then the original brand owner can contact your domain registrar, calling upon brand infringement, and can also serve legal notice against you or can claim damages.
- It is advisable not to impersonate other brand or company, by using their registered brand as your domain name, as it will represent that you intend to identify your website with that specific brand for purpose of obtaining their clients data or in other way scamming them while gaining profit for your own interest.
