If I had trademarked my www.foo.com domain, can I use the law to get www.foo.net?
Hey guys, let's say I copyrighted and trademarked the yeah.com - Only the best links ... domain, and someone a year later got the foo.net and do some shit in it to compete with my mainstream ecommerce area, can I hire some lawyers to grab the domain name to myself?
The guy's been getting good traffic from that, so I don't really want him to do that anymore... |

Yes, of course you can try to sue for trademark infringement. Lots of stories of people losing their domains because of this. Most DN registrars have a "I don't want to be in the middle of this" attitude, and tend to side with whoevers lawyers get there first.

I have seen a few cases in the WIPO which favored the .com many times..but there are many factors to consider before being sure.
