  Domain name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Every domain name ends in a top-level domain (TLD) name, which is always either one of a small list of generic names (three or more characters), or a two characters territory code based on ISO-3166 (there are few exceptions and new codes are integrated case by case).
As domain names became attractive to marketers, rather than just the technical audience for which they were originally intended, they began to be used in manners that in many cases did not fit in their intended structure.
The popularity of domain names also led to uses which were regarded as abusive by established companies with trademark rights; this was known as cybersquatting, in which somebody took a name that resembled a trademark in order to profit from traffic to that address.

 Emerging Issues in IP: Domain Names   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Domain name disputes arise largely from the practice of cybersquatting, which involves the pre-emptive registration of trademarks by third parties as domain names.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organization responsible for, among other things, management of the generic top level domains such as.com,.net and.org, was in urgent need of a solution to the dispute resolution problem.

 ITC Internet: Domain Names
If a particular domain name has already been registered by someone else, unless they are prepared to sell it on to you (normally at an increased price), you will not be able to use it.
Domains are normally registered for a period of one or two years, towards the end of which the current owner will be able to renew the domain again.
Domain holders are also required to comply with a registrar's policies regarding 'domain stalking', copyright and trademark issues, and be prepared to deal with any dispute's that may arise as a result of questionable registrations.

 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.

 Domain Names - Internet Law Program
The registrant contended that the use of the suffix “sucks” clearly indicated to customers and Internet users that the retail chain did not operate the websites in question, and thus that the domain names were not confusingly similar to the complainant's trademark.
The arbitrators responded that the domain name would divert customers, despite users’ recognition that the site was not sponsored by the retail chain: “‘[I]t is likely (given the relative ease by which websites can be entered) that such users will choose to visit the sites, if only to satisfy their curiosity.

 ICANN | Top-Level Domains (gTLDs)
The Internet's domain-name system (DNS) allows users to refer to web sites and other resources using easier-to-remember domain names (such as "www.icann.org") rather than the all-numeric IP addresses (such as "192.0.34.65") assigned to each computer on the Internet.
Domain names may be registered in three of these (.com,.net, and.org) without restriction; the other four have limited purposes.
Generally speaking, an unsponsored TLD operates under policies established by the global Internet community directly through the ICANN process, while a sponsored TLD is a specialized TLD that has a sponsor representing the narrower community that is most affected by the TLD.
