Hi, I have a somewhat complex question...I'm interested in buying a domain name that gets pretty decent traffic according to the seller. The domain is the same as that of a credit company plus another word on the end that is related to credit, although it could have been considered generic before their TM that exists now. The domain was registered several years before the company ever registered it's active TM, although it looks like they were online before then. My question is, can this name withstand a claim against it due to the reg date of at least a few years prior to their TM? Can it be monetized legally? Can the domain be used to make ppc money from them as an advertiser? I just want to get my ducks in a row before making any hasty purchases or owning a domain I cannot rightfully use...please let me know your factual based opinions if you are familiar with this matter, and thank you!
