I am working through reading a UDRP at the moment and couple
of important questions arise.
1. A Company has existed for 30 odd years with a name that
is one of the 2 words of my domain. The complainant is
claiming that it has rights in that same 1 word name PLUS
rights in my 2 word name.
Can they, rightfully, use an alleged un registered trademark/rights that
in reality infringe on an existing use of that same name ?.
2. With regard to bad faith. I was asked whether I would sell the
domain name and I replied that I would not sell as I was developing it.
Is that bad faith or will it weigh in my favour.
Thanks for any advice
