Register Today on DNForum IT'S FREE!I own a .com domain that is a last name. However, there are MANY companies that use this word for the name of their company. These companies have used this name + a keyword for their domain names.
For instance. If I own Smith.com (which i don't, but just as an example). And there are many companies named "Smith". Since I own Smith.com , they decide to buy SmithMarketing.com , SmithEngineering.com or SmithLandscaping , etc etc. There are around 50 domains I could find on google alone from a quick search with this word in their domain.
Anyway. Since "Smith" is last name as well as a company name, does this mean one of the companies can take the name from me? What if i try to sell to them? Or is my best bet just hold onto the domain until they contact me? I just dont want to run into any trademark issues.
Keep away from what they are selling,in other words do not gave ppc ads infringing on their trademark........example if they sell computer equipment keep away from that.
