You can register as long as its free. When registering also look for other domain names that suit your business to avoid them falling to competitors. The only time you can seek legal redress is if the other business is local and is passing off as you. If they are targeting your clients and misleading them to believe they are dealing with you. You operate in the the same region and you need prove to have lost business due to that persons activity. /Bonz On Sun, Apr 8, 2012 at 9:40 PM, Moses Muya <mouzmuyer@gmail.com> wrote:

yes, there's trademark law.domain names fall under trademark law. one has to show business(or other association) to a name to have greater rights over it.

Let me add to the question. Do we have any provisions in our laws that allow for copyrighting of domain names. I know domains like facebook.com or amazon.com are protected by copyright. Is it possible to register a company that is primarily based on a domain name - like in the case where there is only an online store and no 'Brick and Mortar' shop?
