- vntok 6y agoNot necessarily. For it to be a type of intellectual property it would have to be unique, distinctive, etc., which many domain names aren't. You can't really bring a claim to a domain name outside of trying to prove trademark infringement.
- talideon 6y agoIt's not, unless you have a trademark, and even then only within narrow domains in which you've registered the trademark. You don't own domains any more than anything else you lease. In fact, if you read your registration agreement, you'll find out just how _little_ you own it.
