Trademark Infringement: Parties
built 220 days ago
Trademark infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights attaching to a trademark without the authorization of the trademark owner or any licensees (provided that such authorization was within the scope of the license). Infringement may occur when one party, the "infringer", uses a trademark which is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark owned by another party, in relation to products or services which are identical or similar to the products or services which the registration covers. An owner of a trademark may commence legal proceedings against a party which infringes its registration.

The allegations of Internet trademark infringement that have generated the largest amount of publicity involve domain names. Domain names can be considered the addresses of the Internet; e-mail is sent and web pages are found through the use of domain names. As an example, the web address for the BitLaw web site is www.bitlaw.com, while e-mail to Dan Tysver (BitLaw's author) is sent to dtysver@bitlaw.com (both using the "bitlaw.com" domain name). Domain names are more than just addresses... since they can be selected by the "addressee" and are usually closely associated with a particular service or product.
