A name registered to identify a websites address on the Internet and contains at least two part that are separated by a period ..
Others:
A component of an Internet address (URL) which is comprised of a top-level domain such as .com or .net and a second level domain, which is the part the domain name owner gets to make up. In Pliam Law Firms URL, http://www.pliam.com, pliam is the secondary level domain, and .com is the top level domain. Together, Pliam and .com make up the entire domain name. Domain names are protectable as trademarks if they are used in the web site other than as part of the Internet address alone. For instance, Marklaw.com is a domain name because it is used in the URL, but also a trademark because it is used as a masthead to identify the service of providing trademark information. If Marklaw were not used on the page itself, but merely as a URL, then it is unlikely that it serves as a trademark. However, theoretically speaking, if the relevant consuming public understands a domain name to represent a particular Internet service, then it arguably is a trademark. Courts have yet to work out the fine lines in this area of law pertaining to the Internet.
