A domain name is an identification label of administrative autonomy, authority, or control on the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS). These domains have now becomes much more than mere representing the websites of different companies on the internet; they have now attained the status of being business identifiers and promoters.

Now the question arises “why one should go for Trademark on its brand name or logo?”
Trademark is generally a sign, refers to a “brand” or “logo”. It distinguishes the goods or services of one enterprise from others. It is protected by intellectual property rights, e.g. KFC, Dominos, Coca Cola, and Flipkart etc. It is essential to obtain trademark registration for any business name/trade name under the Trademarks Act. Registration of a company or business name under the Companies Act does not in itself give protection against those who might commence using identical or similar marks.
Trademarks allow businesses to build an identity and reputation with customers. Hence, it grows or expands their business creating an edge over other by differentiating itself from other.
