Can someone take my domain names and idea?
Mahmood C asked:
I have registered domains names and set up a limited company in the UK. I intend to trademark the brand name of my company soon but do not have a trademark anywhere in the world.
I have registered domains names and set up a limited company in the UK. I intend to trademark the brand name of my company soon but do not have a trademark anywhere in the world.
However, in that time, if someone else sees my websites and decided to trademark it (for monetary gain) will their application be accepted and can they force me to hand over my company and domain names.
One example was when on the BBC2 show ‘The Apprentice’ – You’re Fired show, the presenter announced the name of the company ( called Xenon Green) and within minutes someone registered the domain names.
Where do I stand?
