Hi, I wanted to get any advice as I can get.
I will use " XCOMPANY " as my company name
So I registered my company XCOMPANY as a INC in DE recent, And then bought the domain exact corp name XCOMPANY.COM, then put our website up from my own idea providing a service to lawyers.
And we just recent filed for trademark reg for the company name.
then one day I was playing around looking at sites on google and found the exact domain as our corp XCOMPANY.ORG but it is a .ORG,
after reviewing things found out they registered the domain 1 year before we did being a .org.
And they are offering a service like ours, but they are not a CORP and they did not file for trademark like we did.
So my question is I do not want our corp having labeled as same company as there website. Is there anyway we can force them to transfer the domain to us if our trademark gets approved?
Even if they bought the domain before our corp was formed?
As I am getting mixed thoughts on this. and before i retain a lawyer i want to get advice, thanks, Josh
