  1. Website name can be trademarked.
    You will have to first identify if the same name is used by someone else. You can get that by requesting a trademark search (Fee:- INR 500).

    If its already in use (anywhere) you’ll have to figure out a different name & if its not in use … bingo !!! Apply for the trademark.

    Check out this link for trademark registrations – https://ipindiaonline.gov.in/etmr/

  2. Hey hi puneet..

    Thanks a lot for the reply,have been waiting for some one to reply 🙂

    The one which i am using now is http://www.jobsplane.in and i also have the .net & .co.in extensions for this..

    None else is using this,but the .com is parked by some domain registration company..so can i still go ahead with copyright?

  3. Having a domain name & trademark are different. I just checked the website & jobsplane logo.

    Lets say you buy the domain name snapdeal.fr, sanpdeal.in, snapdeal.whatever 
    You can use the domain names for your website But, you can not trademark or use – snapdeal if its already trademarked.

    The best way is to get a trademark search done for jobsplane.

  4. ok…i would look if jobsplane already has any trademark!!
    Thanks a lot puneet for the info 🙂
