Registering a domain name provides your business with a unique online address that customers can easily access. We help you choose the right domain name that aligns with your brand and business goals, ensuring it’s available and ready for registration.

What We Do:

Assist in selecting and registering domain names that reflect your brand and protect your online identity.

Legal Protection: Ensure that your domain name is legally protected from potential infringement or misuse by third parties.

Step 2: Protecting Against Cybersquatting & Internet Piracy

Cybersquatting occurs when third parties register domain names similar to your brand, often with the intention of selling them at a higher price or diverting your traffic. At Arain Law Associates, we provide legal strategies to combat cybersquatting and internet piracy, ensuring your domain name remains exclusively yours.

What We Do:

Monitor and protect your domain name from unauthorized registrations or misuse.

Offer legal recourse against cybersquatters and online pirates who attempt to profit from your brand name.

Ensure Exclusivity: Keep your domain name safe from malicious actors who may try to confuse or mislead your customers.

Step 3: Domain Name Dispute Resolution

Represent clients in domain name dispute resolution cases through ICANN and other arbitration forums.

Prepare legal arguments and submit necessary documentation to recover domain names or resolve conflicts.

Domain name disputes typically take a few months to resolve, depending on the complexity of the case and the forum in which it is heard.

Step 4: Domain Name as a Trademark

A domain name can also serve as a trademark if it is used to distinguish the goods or services you offer. We assist clients in registering their domain names as trademarks to gain additional legal protection and safeguard their business identity under Pakistan’s Trademark Ordinance, 2001.

What We Do:

Advise on registering your domain name as a trademark to add another layer of protection to your brand.

Ensure your domain name complies with all the legal requirements to be registered as a trademark.

Key Requirements:

The domain name must be linked to the goods or services you offer via the internet.

Proof of the domain name’s use as a source identifier is required (e.g., website screenshots, promotional material).

SStep 5: Domain Name Renewal and Management

Domain names are typically registered for a fixed period (e.g., five years) and must be renewed to ensure continued ownership and protection. At Arain Law Associates, we manage the entire renewal process, so your domain name remains active and protected at all times.

What We Do:

Monitor your domain name renewal dates and handle the renewal process on your behalf to avoid accidental lapses.

Ensure that all your domain name registrations are up to date and legally protected.
