Company & Domain Names

It is important when considering a company or domain name not to conflict with an existing trade mark, as this could constitute infringement or passing off, risking possible injunction and the cessation of being able to use your company name.

Carrying out the necessary searches beforehand is highly recommended, and something that we can assist with.

With the increasing proliferation of use of the Internet, the requirement and desire for trade mark owners to consistently represent their brand online can sometimes result in conflict, either through legitimate activity or from abusive registration, commonly known as ”cybersquatting”.

We can provide support to our clients through the negotiation and acquisition of domains from third parties or undertake and pursue infringement and enforcement action if necessary.

We are also able to offer a domain name portfolio management and renewal service, ensuring best practices and peace of mind.
