I received the papers today for my named corporation in Canada. I had the first search done on Jan 9 2008 for the name itself. Coincidently someone else did a namesearch on January 15th. I've dug deeper and see someone else getting ready to run a different, but somewhat similar business. This isnt 100% a domain issue, although I do want to protect my domain in this as its exactly the name involved in .ca ... they have the .com. I contacted them a year ago to buy it, it wasnt being used at the time but also wasnt for sale. They are a corporation under another name but operating a division under the name in question. The site presenting their business is now up and running.
I'm looking for advice and perhaps a quick solution to trademark the word/s in question. Is there anything else I should be doing ?
Any input would help at this point. I'll be on the phone alot tomorrow hoping to secure my business name. I plan to market this once I'm set-up. My biggest fear is they are at the tm office now marking the name.
