DNF$: 1,632 Location: PA | Abandoned Trademark Many of you have probably heard of Netprowler. It is some kind of security software developed by Axent Technologies a few years back. The name 'netprowler' was also registered by them as a trademark. Since then Axent has joined with Symantec. The name 'netprowler' has long since been abandoned (almost 4 years now). I own NetProwler.com, which has been registered since 1996. Does anybody know if I can use this domain free and clear of any problems, and also, possibly register it myself as a trademark? I have never had any problems from any of these comapnies, and had also contemplated contacting them to see if they were interested in developing it, but I am a little leary at the moment, as laws and rules are very complex and confusing these days. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

| Philadelphia Lawyer | If you apply for TM registration and the prior registration is raised as a grounds of refusal, then you may respond by showing evidence of at least three years of non-use to support an argument that the mark has been abandoned.
