Hi guys,
I'm trying to acquire a .co.uk domain for a client, but his business name isn't trademarked.
My client owns the .com domain, and has done so for a number of years. However, a couple of years back he lost his .co.uk domain to a rival company. Now his rival has a redirect set up at my client's business name .co.uk.
I'm confident that we could dispute the domain if my client owned the trademark. However, there is no such trademark, and this rival company is now getting traffic via my client's business name.
Would a domain dispute be unsuccessful without a trademark, even if it can be proved that this rival is using my client's trading name to gain traffic and potentially clients?
Let me know if this makes sense or if you need more information.
Cheers.
