The internet provides an important source of business for many companies. A key aspect of internet commerce is thus the domain name by which customers can access the site on the World Wide Web. The domain name itself can thus be an important business asset, which may be protected by registration with national or international regulatory authorities.

At Ablett & Stebbing, we advise our clients regarding domain name use and ownership, for example whether a chosen domain name can be registered, and whether it is possible to prevent the use of a domain name in light of ownership of a registered trade mark, or whether use of a domain name may infringe registered trade mark rights.
