| | Internet Domain Name issues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | When you choose your company's domain name, depending on where you register, you may pick a generic or common name, but if you pick a name that is distinctive, users may more easily be able to remember and search for it. |
 | | This is because most laws treat registration of another person's trademark as a domain name as trademark infringement, also known as ‘cybersquatting', and your SME might have to transfer or cancel the domain name, and also pay damages. |
 | | Also, all domain names registered in the gTLDs like.com, as well as many registered in the ccTLDs, are subject to a dispute resolution procedure (described below) that allows a trademark or service mark owner to stop the cybersquatting of their trademark. |
