lets say i register a domain call hotsex.com in 2008.

i sit on this domain until this year when i am ready to do something with it.

meanwhile, in January 2010, someone buys sexhot.com and sets up an ecommerce site selling sex toys showing commercial intent.

in October 2010, I create my own sex toy line called hotsex and file for a trademark. my trademark is approved.

do i now have the right to send sexhot website owner a cease and desist with the argument that his name is confusingly similar to mine and better yet, do i have a case.

or do i just let him do his thing and not worry about it?
