What is the name of your state? California
Hi,
I have been offered to acquire a domain name from its current owner who des not plan to use it anymore. This domain name describe my business in a perfect way, nevertheless it's very close to one of my competitor domain names. Exemple are fake, but similarity are exactly the same:
I want to acquire something.com.
My competitor own some-thing.com.
Neither something, some-thing or any domain name versions of them are registered as a trademark.
The actual "something" is an expression used in current language, and is not original.
The question is: can I acquire and use this domain name, or the fact that my competitor has a similar one in use may constitute a right of "first use" (one more time, no trademark registered).
Thanks in advance for your advice.
