Domain Names
Copyright law does not protect domain names. Registering the copyright for your website will protect the original content such as text, graphics, source code, photos, music, artwork, etc, but not your domain name. However, when a domain name is used to identify or distinguish your goods and services, or as your business name and not merely as an Internet address it may be protected by trademark registration.
