I am about to talk to my Lawyer...

[proprom]

I have a question about trademerk stuff.
I own a domain http://www.wwwanydomain.com and somebody else owns http://wwwanydomain.com. Is this against the law?

Here is an interesting one... wwwmicrosoft.com. Microsoft has not taken that one to court.

 

[proprom]

Here is something interesting in my situation. I am selling products FOR the company that is complaining.

 

[Jack Gordon]

I don't think this is possible. http://www.wwwanydomain.com and http://wwwanydomain.com are the same.

 

[RMF]

Im a little confused...

Do you mean you own "www.Example.com", and someone else owns "www.wwwExample.com".?

[proprom]

I own www.wwwexample.com. Am I infrindging on www.example.com?

 

[pljones]

Yes. This is perhaps one of the easiest types of infringement available on the Internet. There are so many UDRP and court decisions based on this exact pattern, there isn't even a question.

 

[edisaacson]

Are you an authorized reseller of their products? Have they given permission to use their domain? Do they have a registered trademark or is it a generic term?

 

[namedropper]

Between owning the wwwexample.com and selling example.com's products, chances are you would be infringing unless they said you could do it.

 

[dtobias]

Your only chance of winning is if the part after the "www" is a completely generic word, with no trademark rights.

 

[Drewbert]

Unless the owners of example.com aren't worried, or approve of the use.

Not every company out there is run by anally-retentive attorneys.
