In an era where digital presence is no longer optional, domain names are one of your business’s most valuable assets. But did you know that registering a domain doesn’t always give you legal exclusivity?
✔️ A domain name may carry economic value and function as a brand identifier – much like a trademark.
✔️ However, if it’s confusingly similar to an existing trademark, company, or trade name, you could face legal challenges.
✔️ To avoid disputes, you may want to register the domain name as a trademark – giving you enforceable, exclusive rights.
❗ And beware of cybersquatting – when third parties register domain names based on well-known trademarks, not for use, but for profit or obstruction.
💡 Did you know? Under Hungarian law, both alternative dispute resolution and trademark infringement lawsuits can be used to reclaim misused domain names.
