Domain and Trademark Protection Services

Cybersquatters register domains that look like your brand to steal customers, send phishing emails or sell the name back to you. Our domain and trademark protection services find those domains early, register the variants that matter and help take down or recover the ones used against you.

We cover .com and global extensions under UDRP, and .in domains under INDRP, with a team that knows both.

What Is Domain and Trademark Protection?

Domain and trademark protection keeps your brand name safe online. It combines three things: monitoring for new domains that use or imitate your brand, registering key variants yourself, and taking action against domains used in bad faith.

A trademark protects your name in law. Domain protection makes sure that law turns into real control over the web addresses customers trust.

Answers to Common Questions

Domain and Trademark Protection FAQs



First check if it is live, what it shows and when it was registered. If it is harming your brand, options include asking the hosting provider to take it down, buying it, or filing a UDRP complaint for gTLDs or an INDRP complaint for .in domains. Collect screenshots and your trademark details early.

A registered trademark makes your case much stronger and simpler. Unregistered marks with proof of strong use can sometimes succeed, but it is harder. If you rely on your brand online, registering the trademark in India and key markets is worth doing before any dispute.

Provider fees for a single-panelist UDRP case at WIPO start at about USD 1,500 for up to five domains, and more for a three-member panel. Legal fees are extra. INDRP costs are different and set by NIXI. Buying the domain is sometimes cheaper, so we compare options first.

Most companies need far fewer than they think. Start with your brand in .com, .in and .co.in, the most common one-letter typos and any product names customers search for. Add more only if you see abuse. Monitoring is usually better value than registering hundreds of variants.

Typosquatting is when someone registers a misspelled version of your domain, like a missing or swapped letter. People who mistype your address land on the fake site, which may steal logins, show ads or spread malware. It is also used for phishing emails that look like they came from you.

Yes. We report the site to the hosting provider, registrar and browser safe-browsing lists with evidence. Many phishing sites go offline within days. If the domain itself is the problem, we can support a dispute. Fast reporting matters because phishing sites move quickly.

If customers pay you online, log into a portal or receive emails from you, yes. Attackers target familiar Indian brands, not just global ones. Monitoring costs far less than handling one phishing campaign, and early warning gives you time to warn customers.

The Trademark Clearinghouse is a database of verified trademarks. Brand owners who register there get priority to register their marks in new top-level domains during launch periods and receive alerts when someone else registers a matching name. It is useful for brands active in many markets.

A domain name is a website address used to access online resources, while a trademark is a legally protected brand identifier such as a company name, logo, or slogan. Both play important roles in protecting a business’s identity.

In some cases, yes. However, trademark owners may have legal options to challenge unauthorized registrations, especially if they create customer confusion or misuse the brand.

Cybersquatting occurs when individuals register domain names similar to established brands with the intention of profiting from the brand’s reputation or selling the domain to the trademark owner.

Domain monitoring identifies newly registered domains that may be similar to your brand, helping businesses detect impersonation attempts, phishing risks, and potential trademark violations.

Yes. Businesses of all sizes can become targets for brand abuse, impersonation, and unauthorized domain registrations. Early protection helps reduce future risks and enforcement costs.

Brand monitoring should be continuous whenever possible. Regular monitoring helps organizations detect threats early and respond before they impact customers or reputation.

Yes. Businesses expanding into new markets can benefit from monitoring and protecting brand assets across multiple countries, domain extensions, and digital channels.

Industries such as e-commerce, finance, healthcare, technology, education, manufacturing, and consumer brands often benefit significantly because they rely heavily on customer trust and brand recognition.
