Trademarking a domain name
A client wants to work on a joint project to develop a website. We already own www(.)ourdomainname.co.uk. (edited because it was turned into a link to a site that is nothing to do with us!) Her previous web designer registered the .com, .net, .org, .org.uk and .info domains for her. These have expired - their registrar won't communicate with the previous designer (no animosity - we're all on friendly terms), so we are waiting for them to become available.
My client wants me to buy ALL these so no-one else can use ourdomainname and refuses to let me launch the domain until we have. I tried explaining to her that there are dozens of domain extensions and we could never be sure to buy them all.
Then it occurred to me that it might be better to trademark "ourdomainname". Is it possible to do this for domain names? Like "ourdomainname" it's 3 common words.
Any thoughts? Not sure if what I said is clear.
Thanks
