Thanks Accelerator, I have followed your links before on this site...very informative.

I am a busy man but this domain name business just bugs me.....it is so fundamentally flawed on the back of a handful of old cases.....Marks and Spencers v One in a Million.....

When I discuss the issues with a normal person the consensus is the same.....so why are the rules being bent to accomodate trade mark holders....I am a trade mark holder in the name Landlord Mortgages but how come I got a prior right for a .eu??? The patent office said the text on its own was too descriptive on my business so I had to have a device......if i didnt have the domain name then someone can use the name to sell landlord mortgages (buy to let).....its my own fault for choosing a name that is wholly descriptive of my business......
