In Australia a person may trade under a trading name which is registered (as a business name) in the State or Territory in which the business is conducted. Alternately, trade may be conducted under the vehicle of a corporation incorporated or registered under Australian law. Business or corporate names are registered independently from any trade mark registration but, unlike a trade mark registration, do not confer statutory rights to the name of a proprietary nature. Disputes often arise between business or corporate names and trade marks.

Domain name registrations are in a similar position to business names and are in reality another form of trading identification - they are a means of creating a site address on the Internet.
