Hi all,
I've registered a domain name www.practical-photography-tips.com yesterday with intent to do ecommerce in the near future. But "Practical Photography" is a registered TM of Emap in UK and it includes "all related to photography" in their Sec 16 registration. But www.practicalphotography.com belongs to someone else and not Emap.
Do you think I can still proceed to use my domain? Will I face legal issues in the future? I know I can always drop it to avoid any legal issue but the question is Can I Still Use It? :dunno:
Any lawyers, law students or TM expert willing to enlighten? Anyone?
I've researched other TM examples such as Digital Photo. One company owns the TM for "Digital Photo" and another company owns "Digital Photo Lab" and the third for "Digital Photo Organizer". So if that's legal, so do you think my case is also legal?
