Domain names are the foundations of digital existence, serving
as the online addresses for websites. However, with the massive
increase of websites and the increasing importance of online
branding, domain name disputes have become a common occurrence. Due
to the absence of specific laws addressing domain disputes in
India, these issues are managed under the Trademarks
Act1.
UNDERSTANDING DOMAIN NAMES
Domain names serve as the virtual addresses of websites on the
internet. They are alphanumeric combinations that allow users to
easily locate and access specific web pages. In essence, domain
names act as the digital identity of businesses, organisations, and
individuals in the online world. Just like physical addresses help
people find a particular location, domain names guide users to
specific online destinations.
