Owners and companies who register their trademarks and domain names are doing the right thing: protecting themselves. However, that safeguard alone is not fool-proof. There has been a rising number of trademark and domain name scams, dishonest companies and individuals trying to trick trademark owners into purchasing sham registrations and charging unnecessary fees for domain names.
