Domain names as Trade Marks?If you are looking to register or purchase a domain name, you should consider searching the trade mark registers in the countries where you intend to trade as the use of that name as part of your business could potentially infringe another’s registered trade mark rights.
Similarly, if you have already registered or are using a domain name and intend also to use the name as the name of a product or service, it would be advisable to conduct availability searches and then register the name as a trade mark (excluding the 'http', 'www', '.com', and other address-related elements).
Montana iP can conduct the necessary trade mark clearance searches for you and advise on the registrability of your domain name (or elements of the name) as a trade mark. Please
