    Question genericname.com vs. wwwgenericname.com

    Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated:

    - I own a generic name (such as car.com)
    - I built a successful website at that domain 1 year ago which now receives a ton of traffic
    - A competitor later registers the equivalent of wwwcar.com and redirects my typo traffic to their competing site

    Do I have a case in stopping them from doing so?

    Re: genericname.com vs. wwwgenericname.com

    My guess would be no, unless you own a trademark for the name.

    Thanks Rad

    I do in one country - but not in the country the owner of the competitive site resides in.
