: : Hope someone can help with this hypothetical situation: : : A UK company registers a domain name, say, worker.co.uk with the intention of selling products online to UK residents only, information only will of course be available to all those who browse the site. The trading name in the UK is worker.co.uk : : A USA organisation has registered the trademark, worker, in the USA with the relevant authorities. The worker.com domain is owned by a third, Canadian company though no online business is being conducted. : : All three companies are in the same field of business. : : Question: will the UK company be breaking any trademark laws when they go online? Is their trading name itself likely to cause any problems? : : Thanks in advance. : You have a nice one. The law will have to be researched for assurance. My gut says that there is no legal problem in the UK. There are skads of questions of facts and under US cybersquatting laws if there are US questions. : M.
