Domain Name Trademarks

Trademarks | Logo Trademarks | Domain Name Trademarks | Choosing Trademarks


You should register your company name, trademarks, product names, service names, and slogans as domain names. You should consider registering different versions of your domain name. We recommend that companies register their names in all of the generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs).

Registering multiple domain names is cheap insurance to protect against possible infringing use. For the same reason, register both the singular and plural versions of your domain name. You may want to add "www" to your domain names and register all of these too, since omitting the dot between the "www" and the domain name is a common typo made by Internet users. This is why, for example, Amazon.com has also registered "wwwamazon.com."

If you are using your domain name as a trademark, i.e. to identify the source of the products or services you offer, and if it passes the other tests, then you may be able to secure federal registration for it.
