Domain with Trademark possability
I am looking to buy a domain that a company has a trademark for.
It is a generic two word name. I am going to use it for an adult site. Anyone have any sugestions on legal counsel to talk to. Spankstrocko |

A site currently exists there but the owner has been letting it sit since he registered the domain.
I think the company got the trademark after his site was up not sure if that changes things? Spankstrocko |

The domain was registered in 2002. I am pretty sure that they got their TM in 2003 or even 2004
Anyone have any domain and trademark attorney referals? Spankstrocko |

Check www.uspto.gov for US registered trademarks.
Be careful though, very few companies will put up with a easily mistakable domain being a "porn site".
