Let's take a scenario
There is a huge company (for example- Bottle inc.) and they have their trademark over the word 'bottle' . Let's say someone registered a domain name bottleneck.com . But Bottle.com announced a product related to Neck before the domain (bottleneck.com) registered. They announced the product but not started the business.Signed the Mou with a company and paid them to produce Neck products. but Now there is no product of neck.
1. Talking about today --the Bottle inc. announced the product that will be launched in future.
2.The domainer registered the domain bottleneck.com today but the domainer is from different country.
3.What happens the bottle inc. does not operate in the country where the domainer resides and also bottle inc. dowsnt have a trademark in that country ?
Will the domainer lose it's domain in future ?
In most WIPO Cases the complaintant (Bottle) inc won the battle by giving reason " the Respondent has registered and is using the Disputed Domain Name in bad faith" .
What should the domainer do?
What if the domainer starts a business in te name of bottleneck in his country before bottle.inc launching the product?
