Now, while IANAL, if you registered your domain using jordancapri AFTER 10/10/2006, then you could have some possible problems, but limited to proven damages. Maybe even none. But if you registered before 10/10/2006, I'm pretty darn sure, first use on a non-registered name holds diddly squat in a court of law.

--edit
the first-use thing only holds water if the trademark has been granted. That's all.
