Hello, I have a quick question regarding a trademark infringing domain name...
The domain name was registered in 2002 and my trademark was finally approved and finalized this year. The domain that is in violation of my trademark is simply parked and doing nothing. The owner has already shown bad faith by demanding "five figures", so in this event, can I file with WIPO and probably win my domain or are they going to have the rights to it because they registered it many years ahead of my trademark?
Any insight is appreciated.
