Hi, I have a short .co.uk name which is a very cool name in its own right, it just also happens to be the name ( exact) of a global company with assets of £300 million. Using the wayback machine I discovered that this company used to own the name but let it drop in 2004. ( they trade using the .com of the same name)
I intend to offer the name to the company. My question is this, do I risk a legal challenge from them ? My own limited legal training says no as they voluntarily relinquished the name five years ago, the name is currently parked with no advertising reference to their business, what do you guys think ?
