I'm about to acquire a .co.uk and am concerned that a big company could set up business and get Nom to force me to give it up!

What are my options to protect it?
Should I set up a UK ltd company and/or apply for a TM? Or would a decent website and "trading name" be sufficient?

The .com of the same domain is parked by a big company and as such can see the potential for a large fee to be paid for its acquisition in the future.

Regarding a TM. The name is a 2 word phrase: "UK" followed by a generic. Would this likely get refused?
