[QUOTE="katherine, post: 2118563, member: 63835"] I don't think it's a good strategy because the domain is currently parked at Sedo, not developed. Therefore no TM rights whatsoever have been acquired through development and usage. You own the matching domain, so what ? On which grounds are you going to oppose a TM ? You could still claim intent to use but after 5 years of non-development your claims need strong backup. Maybe now is a good time to unpark the domain and set up a little something, in order to consolidate your preexisting ownership rights and avoid problematic sponsored links you would not want to see displayed. Frankly I doubt that the Fla company didn't check the domain but you never know. Even Google have launched new products without securing the domain first. You are normally safe because the domain was registered well before the TM buy you still have to make sure your domain will not be used in a way that would infringe on the TM. IANAL of course.
