| so lets say i own a TM called "pure fuel" that is registered for the beverage industry. Basically any beverage that has this name on the package is mine. right? Now if theres another company that owns "pure fuel energy bars" and they own a TM for food and not beverages they can both exist. Correct? 2 separate business with pure fuel for TM in two separate categories. Totally ok. Now lets say someone owns a domain with that TM which is internet related, how would that infringe on a food or beverage mark. Its a domain name, not an actual food or beverage. This is a pretty generic term but, it all maters on how you use it. so, if i use it for internet reasons is that really violating the mark?
Also who's to say what's legitimate use? I have a .com (AKA .commercial) If i want to post a photo of my dog, is that really more of a legitimate use for commercial reasons? I would think a directory of ads geared towards businesses is more for commercial use then a stupid photo of a pet (no matter how much you love them).
ecommerce is what makes the internet go round. monetizing your site with ads is a legit way for websites to make money. If i choose to not mix content with my ads does that make me a bad faith registrant?
Since when is selling Intellectual Property illegal? Why is my business that i spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on not a reason for "legitimate interest".
