theres is a popular online show , podcost that is produced by a pretty well known company, now my domain name and my llc name will be exactly the same, as far as i know, the name is not registered on federal level. is that legal? is a name of the show considered to be a trademark its self?
For instance, if I owned “Whazzup” as a trademark, could I stop the person who owns “Whazzup.com” from using the name?
If so how? And is there any way I can acquire Whazzup.com from them legally?
What if also the trademark was registered after the domain name was? Does that void it?
Thanks.
The first answer (rita Samer) is not to be trusted, he or she is just advertising their probably-porn site. Don’t go on the link and don’t trust the information.
I still need an answer so please comment if you know anything.
This is a unique Poster I realized with Publisher.
There is no pictures but only data on this poster, numbers and words. It’s in black in white. I would like to sell this poster but I would like to protect my idea because it’s kind of easy to be copied.
The name of this poster is very descriptive, should I trademark the name. I already own a bunch of different domains in relation to this product.
I am looking to buy a domain and start a company, but I would want stuff trademarked, so I’m not stealing and no one else is. I want to know how to go about this and if it costs a lot?
I am working on a website that will have informational videos and blog postings. I own the domain and want to protect the name and content. Should I copyright the site or trademark the name? Is it possible to copyright the entire site since there will be constantly changing content?
I never registered my name as a dotcom. So, I went to a conference earlier this month and presented on some random topic. A guy calls my office today and asks if I’d be interested in blogging for his little consortium. (My partner took the call.) Oh, and by the way he owns the domain name of my name. He registered it today.
I have an extremely rare full name (one other person seems to have it based on searches I’ve done over the years). I don’t want to tango with this guy. Should I have my lawyer handle this or do I have any other options really??
Now, the domain name that I want to use is “lahomegain”. Of course this has nothing to do with homegain; I don’t want to be associated with those crooks. Would this raise any flags with trademark law or?
I’am launching an internet based company soon, I already bought the domain name. Should I get my business license next or trademark my logo? Or does it even matter which is done next?
My website domain name was infringed by others. he only changed .com to .org . I think this is a typical trademark violation, I want to send his site a formal trademark violation letter to warn him to stop using my trademark, is there any template? please help.
