If you are new to domains and looking to buy, sell and learn about domains then you have come to the right place. DNForum is the largest domain name community on the internet and continues to grow every day. There are over 105,000 domainers on DNForum doing everything from buying domains, selling domains, learning about domains and discussing domains. Take a minute and Register.
Register Today on DNForum IT'S FREE!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!
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.

Thank you John.
If I decide not to go the TM route, do you forsee any problems with me still using the domain?
I have not researched this mark or its use. Per usual, the best "trademark database" is google.

So, can you use philipmorris.com domain name to sell sigarettes without a risk if 'philip pmorris' TM was just canceled or otherwise abandoned?
