I won the bid for an expired domain auction. I made the bid without knowing it was a previous trademark of a company. The company has a two word longer domain name but they used a combined short name as the company name. The situation is like this,
(These are made up names)
Company domain: WishfulTelevision com
Company name: WishTe inc
Domain I registered: WishTe.com
I made the bid cos i was thinking of the potential of the first keyword. When i search the name on google i found this company that sells totally different thing. (Second keyword is the product) Trademarkia showing as trademark was registered first but then abandoned. ("ABANDONED - NO STATEMENT OF USE FILED") My question is can this company still sue me for this?
Thanks for your time.
