    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    Perhaps a bit cheeky but it seemed like a great way to end the matter asap.

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    Eep that is not what I want to hear. Anyway too late now - it has been dropped. They can't exactly say I am doing anything wrong if I don't even own the domain surely???

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    I have crumbled! I have cancelled the .co.uk via Nominet. Can I do the same for a .com?

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    Thanks Capital Domains. I am not actually using it as such as my domains are just displaying the ISP default holding page. So essentially it is just the act of owning these domains that is now my crime punishable by being forced to transfer them. I would expect the trade mark will be...

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    Thanks Woop Woop and Ashton. Btw the letter did refer to the fact this "name" was protected by "common law" trade mark rules. I would have thought that common law trade marks in the UK have similar requirements in terms of not being generic. It is reassuring to know that this could just be...

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    Thanks! What surprises me is the name ("mark text") that they are trade marking seems to contravine the names that are allowed to be trade marked in the UK. I was under the impression you could not trade mark a name that describes the service. According to the IPO site We will not accept...

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    Thanks - you are all really helpful. In answer to the question, the trade mark was submitted in August this year so I assume it has not been approved yet. Though it has been submitted by a trade mark attorney so you would imagine they know their carrots from their onions. Thanks Ashton for...

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    Yeah the domains are cheap and not worth anything to me really. I just don't like the idea that someone can send me a letter demanding my domain names without even a polite letter first. Though I would rather use them for another site totally unrelated to the other parties site than hand them...

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    IP logs? Hmm I don't really know what you mean. I guess that probably means no:)

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    Unfortunately they registered the .org.uk before I registered the .com and .co.uk Out of interest, at what point do I risk being out of pocket? If they want to pursue this, can I hold tight for their next step or will it be too late by then and I will have to incur charges? I guess to obtain...

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    Ok I have just found out the other party has an application for a community trademark dated august this year. The "Mark Text" is the same as my domain name without the extension. I guess that means game over? :( Thanks Paul

    Can they force me to transfer a domain name

    I own the following extensions: .com .co.uk .net .org they own .org.uk It looks like I registered after them but probably just thought it was a good generic term that related to my site. I have made the usual mistake of buying lots of domains thinking they would help my site get more...
