Today, with the advancement of new technology, every person wants to have access to cyber world. However, we find that much before the development of electronic commerce, India and most of the other countries as well, witnessed problems with regard to registration of domain names. It was often found that some people had already registered the domain names which others legitimately require or which might be related to others' existing trademarks, with a view to sell the same to those others by charging exorbitant prices. The paper deals with the issue of disputes between trademarks and domain names. It discusses in detail the reason behind the conflicts and kinds of the disputes and what are the remedies available in current legal system for such situation. Conflicts such as cyber squatting, typo squatting, reverse domain name hijacking are discussed in detail with the help of relevant case laws. The proposed solutions such as Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) have been analysed in detail. This piece of research is a bonafide attempt to analyse the dispute scenario and to ponder upon its redressal.
