i have used the name in establishing a commercial intent since 2009, but i have had neither a site or a product prior to 2010.

i dont know if that makes a difference. in my mind i had a clear plan since 2008 to develop this product and then this other company just came in and created an ecommerce site that is reselling others products..

Marketsmart, if you go into court with "your intent" vs there "actually doing business"...their lawyer will have you for lunch. Also, it does not matter that you are a mfg and they are a retailer, what matters is that they were doing real business 1st
