I have recently purchased an name (lets call it xxxx.com) through a domain name backorder site. I just been contacted by the owner of the .NET version, looking to buy the name. I am planning on developing the name for a future project. But as I don't have the time to develp the site at the moment, I told him that I may consider selling the name for the right price.
He emailed me back saying that he had a trademark pending, and there may be copyright issues if I developed the name.
Does anyone know how I stand on this issue. Does it make a difference, as I am in the UK and his company is in the USA in regards to trademarks?
Or does it sound like he is playing the trademark card, to get the domain?
Any advice would be appreciated.
