Ok so I'm going through the "business development" phase of plan B. I'm looking at registering a trademark which represents the business. I have a good one in mind but some buggers are squatting the .uk domain.
Is it legal to squat on it if I have a trademark which they own, even if they purchased it before the trademark was registered. Can I lever it off them. Bearing in mind these guys have a history of selling and leasing (!!!)domains for silly money:
taste.co.uk to Sainsbury's for £110,000 plus VAT
three.co.uk to Hutchison for £102,000 plus VAT
3121.com to Prince for the album 3121 for $30,000
