[QUOTE="Pingler.com, post: 2350206, member: 322544259"] Hello all, I am posting this on behalf of a client and we would greatly appreciate your feedback and support - thank you in advance. Our client (based in the United Kingdom) bought a dropped domain through Godaddy auction and the domain was registered in 2009. The client proceeded to set up an online pharmacy website in 2009 and received many orders. Recently he was approached by lawyers acting for a third party, trying to stop him from using the domain, stating that it is trademarked. We checked and found that they had trademarked the name in 2012, so three years after the registration and operation of his domain. We tried to explain to the lawyers but they are adamant that they have a case. The domain is a DOT COM. I was under the impression that if domain registration precedes trademark registration, then the other part does not have a case as such? Thank you for your help [/QUOTE]
