The universe works in mysterious ways...
After my last thread, I was hoping I could stay clear of TM issues forever! But I just found out that someone has registered my (e-commerce) webstore domain with a one letter typo. Its a very discreet typo, and they could well be receiving my misspells.
Itstates in the WHO IS info to contact them directly if anyone has issue with the registration, providing trademark OR evidence of use of the common law trademark
in question. It appears that my site was registered more than a year before they registered theirs. So, is it advisable to contact them through WHOIS? Or is there another protocol that would be suggested? Figured I better ask after my faux pas of earlier this week.
Geeez....
