What is a domain name? How to apply for a domain name? The names of enterprises, governments, non-governmental organizations and other institutions or individuals registered on domain name registration agencies are the network addresses of enterprises or institutions on the Internet. An Internet address term, such as a string of easy-to-remember characters corresponding to a hypothetical address and an Internet Protocol (IP) address, consisting of the 26 Latin letters from A to Z, 10 Arabic numerals from 0 to 9, and "- " and "." form symbols, which are arranged according to a certain level and logic. Currently, some countries are developing domain names in other languages, such as Chinese domain names. Not only is the domain name easy to remember, but even if the IP address changes, the domain name can remain unchanged by changing the resolution correspondence. The network communicates and connects based on the TCP/IP protocol. Each host has a unique IP address and a fixed identification to distinguish thousands of users and computers on the network. The network uses a unique, universal address format when distinguishing all connected networks and hosts, that is, each computer and server connected to the network is assigned a unique address. In order to ensure the uniqueness of the IP address of each computer on the network, users must apply for registration with a specific organization, which allocates IP addresses based on the user's unit's network size and recent development plan. There are two addressing schemes in the network: IP address system and domain name address system. These two address systems are actually one-to-one correspondence. IP addresses are represented by binary numbers. Each IP address is 32 bits long and consists of 4 numbers less than 256. The numbers are separated by dots. For example, 100.10.0.1 represents an IP address. Since the IP address is a digital identifier that is difficult to remember and write when using it, a symbolic address scheme was developed based on the IP address to replace the numeric IP address. Each symbolic address corresponds to a specific IP address, which makes it easier to access resources on the network. The character address that corresponds to the numeric IP address on that network is called a domain name. It can be seen that the domain name is the name of the organization that accesses the Internet, and it is the address of an organization that logs into the network through a computer. If a company wants to build its own homepage on the Internet, it must obtain a domain name, which also consists of several parts, including numbers and letters. Through this address, people can find the required details on the web. Domain name is an important identifier for Internet access units and individuals on the Internet. It serves as an identifier to facilitate others to identify and retrieve the information resources of a certain enterprise, organization or individual, thereby better realizing the sharing of resources on the Internet. In addition to the identification function, in the virtual environment, domain names can also play the role of guidance, promotion and representation. Generally speaking, a domain name is equivalent to a family's house number, and it is easy for others to find you through this number.

Edit the composition of this domain name.

Take a common domain name as an example. The Baidu website consists of two parts. The label "baidu" is the main body of the domain name, and the last label "com" is the suffix of the domain name, representing a com international domain and A top-level domain name. Ahead www. It is the network name and the domain name of www. DNS stipulates that all labels in domain names are composed of English letters and numbers. Each label should not exceed 63 characters, and uppercase and lowercase letters are not distinguished. No punctuation characters other than hyphens (-) can be used in tags. The lowest level domain name is written on the far left, and the highest level domain name is written on the far right. The total length of a complete domain name consisting of multiple tags should not exceed 255 characters. In recent years, some countries have also developed and used domain names in their own languages, such as German and French. China has also begun to use Chinese domain names, but it can be expected that English-based domain names (i.e. English domain names) will remain the mainstream in China for a long time to come.

Edit the domain level of this paragraph.

Domain names can be divided into different levels, including top-level domain names, second-level domain names, etc.

First-level domain names

Top-level domain names are divided into two categories: one is national top-level domain names (nTLDs). At present, more than 200 countries have allocated top-level domain names based on ISO3166 country codes, such as cn in China, us in the United States, jp in Japan, etc. The second is the international top-level domain name (itd), such as. Business Enterprise Network. net for network providers and. org is a non-profit organization. At present, most domain name disputes occur under the com top-level domain name, because most companies go online for profit. In order to strengthen domain name management and solve the problem of domain name resource shortage, the Internet Society, Internet branches, World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and other international organizations made a decision based on the original three international top-level domain names: (com) after extensive consultations. Seven new international top-level domain names have been added: firm (company), store (sales company or enterprise), Web (unit highlighting WWW activities), arts (unit highlighting cultural and entertainment activities), rec (unit highlighting leisure and entertainment activities) , info (units that provide information services) and nom (individuals), and select new registration agencies around the world to handle domain names.

Second-level domain name

Second-level domain name refers to the domain name under the top-level domain name. Under the international top-level domain name, it refers to the online name of the domain name registrant, such as IBM, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc. Under the national top-level domain name, there are symbols representing registered enterprise categories, such as com, edu, gov, net, etc. China's top-level domain name officially registered and operated by InterNIC is CN, which is also China's first-level domain name. Under the top-level domain name, my country's second-level domain name is divided into category domain names and administrative domain names. There are 6 domain names, including AC for scientific research institutions; Com for industrial and commercial financial enterprises; edu; for educational institutions; Gov for government departments; net; Internet information center and operation center; Org for non-profit organizations. There are 34 administrative domain names, corresponding to all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country.

Third-level domain name

The third-level domain name consists of letters (A~Z, A~Z, case, etc.), numbers (0~9) and connectors (-). Use dots (.) between each level of domain name, and the length of the third-level domain name cannot exceed 20 characters. If there are no special reasons, it is recommended to use the applicant's English name (or abbreviation) or Chinese Pinyin name (or abbreviation) as the third-level domain name to keep the domain name clear and concise.

Country code domain name

A top-level domain name whose country code consists of two letters, such as. cn,. U.K,. Dehe. jp, known as country code top-level domain names (ccTLDs), among which. cn is China's only top-level domain name, and its registration is managed by CNNIC. A second-level domain name ending with . The abbreviation of cn is the domestic domain name.

Domain name registration should follow the principle of first application and then registration. Administrative agencies will not conduct any substantive review on whether the domain name proposed by the applicant infringes on the rights of a third party. At the same time, each domain name registration is unique and non-repeatable. Therefore, on the Internet, domain name is a relatively limited resource, and its value will gradually be valued by people as the number of registered companies increases. Cn domain name

Since domain name is a valuable resource, can it be the object of intellectual property protection? We believe that in the new economic environment, the commercial significance of domain names is far greater than its technical significance. It has become an important means for enterprises to participate in international market competition under new technological conditions. It not only represents the company's unique position on the Internet, but also comprehensively reflects the company's products, service scope, image and goodwill, and is part of the company's intangible assets. At the same time, a domain name is also an intellectual achievement.

It is a literal business mark, similar to trademarks and trade names, and embodies considerable creativity. In the process of conceiving and selecting domain names, we need some creative labor to make the domain names representing our company concise and attractive, so that the public can understand and access them well, so as to achieve the purpose of expanding corporate visibility and promoting business development. . It can be said that a domain name is not a simple identification symbol, but the condensation of corporate goodwill and recognition of popularity. The use of domain names has rich connotations for enterprises, which are far from being exhausted by the simple word "logo". Therefore, both academic circles and practical departments currently tend to regard domain names as an intellectual property object of enterprises. Moreover, from a global perspective, although domain names are not protected as exclusive rights in the legislation of various countries, the establishment of an international domain name coordination system through the World Intellectual Property Organization is enough to show that people have regarded domain names as part of intellectual property rights. Of course, compared with the traditional field of intellectual property, domain name is a brand new object with its own characteristics. For example, the use of domain names is global and does not have traditional strict geographical restrictions; from the perspective of timeliness, once a domain name is obtained, it can be used permanently and does not require regular renewal; the domain name is absolutely unique on the Internet. Once registered, no one else can register or use the same domain name, so its exclusivity is absolute. In addition, domain names cannot be used without registration by a legal authority, which is different from traditional patents, trademarks and other objects, etc. Even so, it is scientific and feasible to regard domain names as objects of intellectual property rights. In practice, it is beneficial and harmless to protect the relevant legitimate rights and interests of enterprises on the Internet.
