How can I protect my domain name against potential trademark disputes?
One way to avoid trademark disputes would be to choose the right domain name. You would not want a name that is so similar to another company that people cannot distinguish between the two. For example, if your company is called Integrated Business Management, you would not want to register a domain name of "IBM.com". This would be a sure way of inducing a trademark dispute. Another way to protect your domain name from trademark disputes is to own more domain names just like it. If your company name is available in the .com version, you should always register the .net and .org versions, just to be on the safe side.
