'Domain Name Use' and Trademarks - Beware...you can be sued if not careful!
Differences between trademarks, business, company and domain names.
Registration of a business name, company name or domain name will not provide you with exclusive rights to the marketing and advertising of your name unless you have ensured as much as possible, that your name is not likely to infringe upon any trademarks that are currently registered, or pending registration in Australia.
Or, you have obtained trademark registration for your exact name, or important component of your name with at least a trademark application under way.
