I'm posting in this folder as well, maybe someone here has an idea as well as someone viewing the "business/legal" aspect of it.
Hi all,
A few months back I registered a .com. I noticed all the other endings, i.e. .net, .biz etc were empty, but decided there was no need to register more than the .com. Anyways, I was planning on building a website somewhere down the line that has to do with my specific field. I find out a few weeks later, by complete accident, that a very big global company has registered the exact same domain name as mine, but ending in .net.
WTF?
The major company is directly related to my field, absolutely no doubt about it.
The question is, what should I do to protect my website, the idea, et al, from basically being quashed by the giant? Until what point do I have to make my website, claim my "pie", so that the giant company cannot use my idea and claim that, "oh well, he may have registered the name first, but it took him too long to do anything about it, so that's too bad?"
Thanks!
