One problem that contradicts Flippa's trademark is "goods". Flippex literally focuses on material goods. Flippa, on the other hand, has more to do with services then anything else. There is nothing material about building, advertising, or selling websites and domains. Both are two different sorts of property, definitely, but one is tangible and the other intangible. You cannot deny that within any trademark...

Read again the description of the tm class for "flippa". It's in blue.




Apples and oranges. Focus on the current issue: Flippa owns a tm for a venue to sell, trade, auction and otherwise *flip* (keyword) goods and services (my bolding). It doesn't say "domains".

the last line of the TM discription "... in the field of online business " - thats different than flipping homes?

Also - why would flippa go down that road - it wouldn't impact their business or confuse anyone, i see flippex as Flip + exchange brandable name.

the really big reason why would NOT use the name (personally) is flipex.com (one 'p') is already a site

URLURL - I am aware that Flipex.com is already registered. I actually registered Flipex.ca so that I at least have some advantage...but my main reason for not choosing Flipex over Flippex is pronunciation. Flipex can also be read as Fly-Pex...although debatable.
