TRADEMARK AND DOMAIN NAME CONTEMPORARY ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN INDIA

Abstract [English]

In ancient times, traders and businessmen used to mark scribbles for identification of their goods. With time, new techniques evolved to identify goods and trademarks were used for identification (related) or for the purpose of obtaining a certificate (legal). Both of these are considered advantages in terms of trade union views. Therefore, for obvious reasons, companies are investing time and money in their brands, and when such companies find that a fake domain name similar to its name or brand has been registered by cyber hackers called cyber-squatters, who register confusing domain names with popular brand names or symbols. trading, to sell them over time to legitimate owners for a profit, is a source of great concern to them. The value of a trademark is clearly indicated in the store (where the seller is not present) where the product is sold, depending on the strength of the trademark.
