Hi,.

Can someone tell me how to look for my name in other extensions. it's easy to see if the .net and .org etc are taken but I have found one in a .cc and it says store with this name coming soon. I would like to know are we both allowed to use the name?.

Can I submit for a TM before forming a legit business?.

If I do get the TM can I enforce that on someone in germany when my company would be in the US?.

Appreciate any replies thanks..

To look for a name in other extension, just visit namecheap and select all the extension and search the name.

Regarding TM submission, I dont know whether it is allowed or not.

You can try to enforce a TM law if they are affecting your business in any way...

Thanks for the reply but namecheap does not show all extensions there are many missing here seems to be just the most popular..

Ok thank you that helped alot, I guess I needed to do more homework.

I see an extension taken with an active store and the owner (another country) also runs a sellers account on a popular site with this name. does their active use of the name already make it so I cannot file for TM?..

I once waited tooo long to register a name that was available. When I went back a few hours later it was gone! Go with you domain sense, Dont hesitate. I'd reg it if I were you...

Thanks I did take it.

Now I guess just to do some research about trademarking it..

I am quite agree with the "Go with you domain sense",something maybe you can't tell why,but what you feel is strangely right...

I love this term domain sense, I wish I had some selling sense too..
