I wonder if you would be kind enough to offer me some advice. My colleage and I purchased among other domains Worldseriesofpoker.co.uk over a year ago. I have not had time to develop it until now.
Harrah's entertainment has since purchased worldseriesofpoker.com and redirect it to their site. They also stuck trademarks on the words at the US patent office in July 2004 as follows. "Services IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Entertainment services, namely, organizing, conducting, producing and exhibiting poker events rendered live and through the media of television and the Internet; providing information in the field of poker related tips and strategy; and providing news and information relating to poker events, tournaments, schedules, players and other related topics of interest to the poker player community. FIRST USE: 20040714. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20040714"
My question is, does this prevent me from developing my domain ?
