I came to know about a start up which has just raised funding(not public news yet). It is a registered LLC(not in US). I know they have not trademarked the name. They have the .com already registered. The other extensions are just lying down.

Will there be any legal issues if someone registers the other extensions before the name is trade marked? The name is not a dictionary word but the name has already been used in an different context by someone famous.
