I recently bought a nice .co.uk name but it's .com had already been sold.
Subsequently, I checked the USPTO db and found that the name is not trademarked (it is a combination of two words). So, my next question is -- if the name is not already trademarked, and if the buyer of the .COM trademarks it later would I have to surrender my .co.uk.
Conversely, should I trademark the name now, and consequently would the seller have to give up his .COM later ?
