Domain Name is a word or a combination of words which act as an address to identify the business or brand online or on the internet. The Domain Names are used to locate the website. It is the unique reference that represents a webpage which form a part of the Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
Domain Names can be registered and protected as Trademarks so long as the Domain Name meets the requirements of a Trademark under The Trade Marks Act, 1999.

Under INDRP, the Complainant is required to submit all the relevant documents along with the complaint to National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) in an electronic form along with the specified fee.
