Explore how domain names meet trademark law in a governing arena that affects the future of the Internet.

This overview of a 1997 congressional hearing explains the tensions between trademark owners, domain name holders, and regulators as the domain name system moves toward privatization and international governance.

The material frames key questions about who should register and regulate domain names, how disputes are resolved, and what role government should play in protecting trademarks online. It highlights real-world concerns, such as cyber-squatting, consumer confusion, and the need for consistent rules across borders.

• What domain names are and why they matter for trademarks in the digital age
• How disputes arise and the kinds of policies registrars use to handle conflicts
• Pros and cons of shifting governance from private registries to a formal administrative body
• Considerations of international law and regulatory approaches for global domain use

Ideal for readers of law, policy, and technology history who want a concise look at the roots of Internet domain name trademark protection.
