# Do domains include trademark registrations?

> Domains on Brandpa don’t include a trademark, which protects a name only in a specific industry and location. Check how protectable a name is before you buy.

No, this is not possible given how trademarks work.

The names shown on Brandpa can be used by any industry in any geographical location offering all sorts of services. Since a trademark protects a name that belongs to a specific industry in a specific location we cannot take care of this for you as we don't know what industry your name will belong to.

Before you purchase a domain name, we advise you undertake your own research on how protectable the name is, for your location and intended purpose.
