Question about TM

[cache]

for the domain name xxxx.com, if xxxx is a dictionary word, but "xxxx!" is a live trade mark. How significant is the "!" on the trade mark? What is the risk for the xxxx.com holder?

Thanks

Anything, any name or reference to a name that dilutes the power of the trademark is at risk. Even if it is not the actual name or exact trademark. Cheers.

it would depend on usage ... if the domain is used in the same industry (class) that the TM is registered , or in a manner that could cause consumer confusion or dilution of the mark , the domain could be "at risk" ...
