Does registering a domain automatically protect my company or brand name?

No. Registering a domain is not the same as registering a trade mark and does not automatically give you exclusive rights to the name in every context. A domain being available does not guarantee that using it will not infringe someone else's rights.

Before choosing a name, check existing trade marks in the official databases relevant to your intended markets, such as those maintained by OSIM or EUIPO. If you find similar names or plan to invest in a brand, seek advice from an intellectual property specialist. A domain, a registered company name and a trade mark are separate registrations with different rules and legal effects.
