Recently in a TBR there was a multi million dollar company who dropped their .ca For whatever reason I have no idea. The company name IS trademarked and they still have the .com.
My question is can I pick up the dropped name and put up a website with affiliate advertising that leads to their .com? They do have an affilaite program.
My thoughts are they have had this .ca in the past and now they drop it. They must not want it so does that mean it's alright to use it?
Should I grab it and send them an email saying WTF are you guys doing?
Should I try to sell it to them?
My reading on Tm's on this site tend to say leave the .ca alone as it TM'd and the fact that is a .ca does not mean anyone registering the .ca has the freedom to do whatever they want with it.
Any thoughts on this.
Cheers
