Domains that are older than trademarks

2 replies
Let's say I register a domain called bunnyhopspetstore.com and there is an actual pet shop called that name but it has no online presence. 5 years later, that owner trademarks "Bunny Hops Pet Store"... Is there any chance that person can take control over my domain?

    I think you're talking about copyrights... this is a forum for copywriters... writers of advertising copy.

    But to answer your question (disclaimer: not a lawyer), no... they can't just take over your domain.
