Getting a trademark is a great form of protection for yourself but only if you qualify for registration. You only need to trademark your domain name if you use the words in your domain name to sell a product or service and you would like to prevent others from being able to use whatever your domain is to sell similar products or services.
If you’re not using the domain for any sort of product or service then not only do you not need to get a trademark for your domain you will not even be able to register your domain as as a trademark. The purpose of a trademark is identifying and distinguishing the source of a product or service from the source of similar products or services. Therefore if your domain is not used to distinguish your goods or services it will not meet the requirements for getting a trademark.
Before registering please be sure to conduct a thorough trademark search. Your trademark cannot be similar to anyone else’s trademark if they are selling a similar product or service. If your domain is too similar to another company’s trademark in a way that would confuse consumers about the source of your product or service, you will not meet the requirements for getting a trademark.
