Domain Name Disputes

Domain Names are today not just identifiers of business; they are important sources of business and brands by themselves. Several companies derive their entire business from their domains and websites, and when a domain name is used as a source identifier of a business, good or service, it acquires the status and protection of a trade mark. Owing to the value domain names and corporate pages hold for businesses, it is not only important for companies to hold domains relating to their business, but also very important to stop competitors and other third parties from holding their domain names and gaining advantage or profiting from such domain names.
