Bankerfelix asked:


I have a good dot-com name i created 10 years ago and 6 months ago, i forgot to renew and it got expired and immediately picked up by somebody (ouch and dammmm). I can’t do nothing about it. So I am planning to file trademark on the Dot-Com name for my origional business concept since the new owner has not done anything to it yet…Trade Mark Attorney pls advise. Because I am the fist to trade mark and copyrighted the domain name not the owner of the domain! Right?

Sydney [wexfordkid] asked:


There’s a certain fictional character whose name I want to use as part of a legal company name ([name] Enterprises, or whatever). The character appeared in a story dated 1927, so the copyright will be expiring soon. Once it does, can I legally use this name as a part of a business name?

This is the script for the same:

I paid my subscription 2 weeks after it expired and now some anonymous person is using it. My domain provider won’t answer my letters or emails. Should I just give up on this and just register a new domain name and cut my losses?
http://domains.whois.com still shows MY details as domain owner. Other WHOIS sites says someone else. Confused!
