Excuse my domain-savy deficiencies ---
if an entity already has a trademark and is using this mark in commerce, can this entity seize the domain (URL) from an individual/entity that is sitting on the domain --
for example - let's imagine OMEGA COMPANY already has the trademark of "MOXIS--and OMEGA is the only entity that owns the trademark MOXIS - and it is obviously using MOXIS in commerce -- what does OMEGA have to do to get www.moxis.com from a person/entity that owns the URL but is not using it - BTW - OMEGA has been using Moxis for 2 years -- on website, brochures, product labeling, etc - and now wants the domain name --
interesting in hearing the arguments from both sides:
1) OMEGA
2) the owner of URL www.moxis.com who regsitered the domain years ago, but has never used it
BTW - Moxis, again is fictitious -- and just a neologism to use as an example
Moxis could be moxie movis,, etc
thnx
