Hello,
I am a part-time painter/artist. I've had my domain name for 8 years now and have always used it for either my artwork website or to forward to my artist Facebook page.
About 2 years ago an import company registered my domain name as their trademark. They now sell branded art supplies on Amazon, eBay, Walmart, using my domain name as their brand.
I never filed for a trademark but I have always used the domain name, never had it parked and it's always been related to my artwork.
I'm just wondering if this companies brand continues to grow, is there a chance they can force me to give them my domain name?
Thanks for your help,
Rich
