Brand Protection by Multiple Domains SEO experts posit that brand protection can be achieved without necessarily buying multiple domain names. Bear in mind that domain ownership follows strict and well de?ned rules. For instance, if you own a trademark for a speci?c domain name, you can actually contest and recover your domain if another party registers another domain that includes your trademark. There are lots of domain name attorneys and experts out there with knowledge on the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. However, this process can be frustrating and time consuming. Take your time with SEO practices and branding. As discussed above, owning multiple domain names can be bene?cial in the short term but costly in the long run.
