Am I in violation of trademark laws?[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Trademark Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by Mitch on April 01, 2002 at 14:08:07: I recently registered a domain name. Last week I got a letter in the mail from a San Francisco Lawyers office regarding the fact that I should stop using my domain name immediately. My domain name consists of 3 words (johnnygonefishing)while his are the last 2 words (gonefishing) of my domain and he has a ServiceMark for this particular name. Am I in any violation? I reside in Canada and this domain name will for a long time anyways be used only in Canada. The way the letter is stated is that he pretty much owns the use of those 2 words. They are pretty generic and Im not sure wether he can actually own those words. I have done searches online and have found that there are quite a few other domains using the same 2 words in the same order of use. It seems that I shouldn't be the only one he should be trying to sue. Any help would be appreciated.
