If you had registered another limo companies name I'm sure they could legally claim the rights to it. If it's not company specific and you can't be shown to be doing damage to anyone I don't think there's anything they can do about it.

They could probably take it, not sure if there's any compensation required...I'd read through the Dad's links.

In problems after reading through that so its like if I register www.striped-basss.com hoping someone makes a mistake and adds an extra s on and im interfering with this site there could be a penalty if jr wants to persue it.

Depends.

First he would have to file a complaint. Then hey may have to demonstrate that you're somehow doing harm to his business.

For instance, if you registered www.gooogle.com and linked it to a mink porn fishing site...I think they could shut you down.

Do a search online, there are probably some stories about real cases that could explain real findings rather than my speculation.

Maybe sue you for Trademark Infringement. If Dell forgets to register and you grab the site and start using the Dell name to sell via the website....I could see that being an issue

You know there is a story behind this

I registered a company that is still in business forwarded his old domain to my site so last night I get this e mail confirming a pick up through my website up at logan. now I have no reservation for this guy nor have I ever driven him before but the good guy I am I drive up there thinking I made a mistake and I was surely gonna be there when he arrived well theres another car there with the same name on it as my reservation I go over and ask what company hes with and you guess it the company I registered, the client punched in the web addy and got my site went to the reservation page and put his confirmation in saying he was coming in I laughed it off let the other guy take his job without saying anything and this is what got me to thinking I could get in trouble for this!

A Michael Dell has more lawyers on salary than you have plugs!

B Sounds like you are trying to finagle the bagel here. The headaches would be huge, not to mention your new file with your attorney

Hadn't looked at that angle! Brilliant!

I edited my post, but glad you saw it
