Trademark registration is the most effective way of protecting your website domain name. To avoid a domain name dispute apply for trademark registration before you buy the domain. Registration of a domain name with an Internet registration authority does not give you any protection or right to use the domain name commercially in Canada. The right to use a domain name is determined by trademark law in the countries from which that website is accessible. If there is a registered trademark that is confusingly similar to your domain name, the owner of that trademark can force you to give up your rights to the domain name. It is a good idea to do a search for your domain names in the trademarks database before beginning to use that name commercially. Once you determine that there are no similar names in use, you should immediately file a trademark application to protect your new domain name(s). Now with the opening up of TLDs brand names can register their .brandnames with ICANN. These TLDs will be governed by the trademark laws and ownerships.
