Can a person take my company domain and trade names by registering a trademark with the same?

Hi,

Can a person take your domain name and company trade name by registering a trademark with the same name, or do I have a trademark name to avoid such?

Thanks

Choose the name from the Department of Economic Development. Reserve the trade name.

So the DED-registered trade name of my company is enough?

Do I need to proceed with a trademark registration?

No, first the name is checked, and if it is similar to another company, it is requested to be changed.

The person can not use the same company name, however, to protect yourself, you need to register your trademark.
