Registering Trademark despite same-name TLD?

Question

Hello!

We are based in Singapore. If I register a top-level domain in the United States and in Australia with our brand-name, can others still gain a registered trademark for that name in the U.S. (or Australia), despite the domain already being used by us?

Thank you!

Hello: Yes. Anybody will be able to register your trademark in every single jurisdiction around the world regardless of your top-level domain name registration in the U.S. and Australia. Trademark rights and domain name rights are different. That is why one of them does not exclude the other. Regards, Rafael BELTRAN
