[QUOTE="CharlieBrown, post: 2341699, member: 61155"] I have been running certain websites for over a decade. Let's call them "CharliesCoolFridges.com" and "BestFridges.com" - I registered the domains over 10 years ago, developed the websites, and I am actively running the websites successfully. I also created a lot of content, youtube videos, reviews, etc for both websites. As the websites became successful, I became aware of cyber squatters buying up various typos and misspellings of my domains, or alternative versions of my websites, such as: CharlieCoolFridges.com CharliesCoolFridge.com BestFridge.com I want to protect my brand, so I was thinking of trademarking my domains. From my understanding, trademarking "CharliesCoolFridges.com" should be OK, while "BestFridges.com" might run into problems. But, either way, should I go ahead and file a trademark at [URL]https://www.uspto.gov/[/URL] for both of my domains? Then, should I trademark the phrase "Charlies Cool Fridges" in addition to "CharliesCoolFridges.com" ? I am creating lots of content and spending money on my brand, so I want to protect is as much as I can. Then, I would also potentially be interested in filing WIPO action to get control of the cyber squatting domains. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
