SORRY -- It was Phase Eight Dresses --- NOT MONSOON DRESSES. Stupid mistake on my part.

I can't see much of a need in the UK for dresses specifically made specifically for monsoon weather conditions?

 

Monsoon is a company making dresses, isn't it?

 

:roll:

 

Don't you roll your eyes at me , young man. One of these days the wind will change direction and they will stay like that.

 

Trademark, not worth the reg fee sorry

 

Trademark

Hi Max,

Could you please advise here, I cant understand why this would be an issue. Does that mean the company (Monsoon) would take legal action or something against me if that site got high iin the SERPS for the keyword and it generated revenue through affiliates?

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Yes.

 

Thanks for the advice, looks like it will have to be a reputable retailer... did a search and found a few different sites selling monsoon dresses: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=m...:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb

Very strange... but thanks anyway.

 

Google Images is extremely broken for this phrase. I just searched for "Monsoon Dresses" and I can assure you that all of the results feature dresses that just WOULD NOT be practical in adverse weather conditions.

In all seriousness. I was going to catch this the other day but decided against it for the trademark issues documented here. I see newlookdresses.co.uk dropped and some others also with the same issue.

 

Trade Mark Domains

Agreed, I never realised this problem about Trade Mark, I thought a fan type of site would be OK... what an idiot I am Yesterday I got blackberrytorch_co_uk which is also Trade Marked. To my amazement... no one wants it. ha ha, a lesson learnt!

Almost went for phaseeightdresses.co.uk and karenmillendresses.co.uk which are also dropping today. Whew... thank goodness I didnt waste another fiver..

Cheers for the advice though people, it's much apprecaited. Staying clear of Trademark domains from now on.

 

If possible, delete them immediately. The fact that you own them could be used to demonstrate a "pattern of behaviour" if somebody decided to take you to the Dispute Resolution Service (DRS) or to court over having registered TM names.

 

Doing it now and panicking

 

Have you posted the correct domain in this topic?

Just looked and monsoondresses.co.uk hasn't dropped yet today, though you say you caught it today.

 

Thank Goodness... I am really worried about this, it wasnt Monsoon Dresses it was Phase Eight Dresses: http://webwhois.nic.uk/cgi-bin/webw...&wquery=phaseeightdresses.co.uk&submit=Lookup

My Mistake, but I dont even want that either becasue of the TM dilema I am currently having. My mistake and aplogies to everyone.

Really embarressed now Please accept my apologies... Junior Member (very ignorant but learning from the pro's) I did really need this advice though, I would have carried on trying to get these types of domains and wasting my time, money and everyone elses time.

Apologies.

 

Not sure what's going on there. I'm sure he's got the right domain as there was a collection dropping today -

*perhaps not

 

Cheers Redemption,

I appreciate that, it was the wrong domain though (the one I got was phaseeightdresses.co.uk) and probably the worste mistake of my life

I tried to edit the origional post and hope the forum members are understanding.

 

Bloody hell mate. It's only a domain. I wouldn't go that far! Just cancel it.

 

I am waiting for Nominets hotline to open at 8:59 tomorrow morning for this dire emergency -- ha ha. kidding, I'll sort it, just feel like a right numpty for my own ignorance. Just glad I got the knowledge. Cheers again dude.
