    domain name dispute

    Hi,

    I need you wise advice, and thanks in advance. I have recently recieve a complaint from a big company to the National Arbitration Forum that my domain name was "identical or somewhat confusingly identical" to their trademark. I have checked - I register the domain name one month before they successfully filed is as a trademark in US and Australia. My website is purely informational but with google ads which lead to other company that provides similiar services, which they have branded me as their "competitor" . There was not copyright issue as all content and pictures were unique.

    Please help as I don't have money to hire any legal right to assist me and I do not want to lose this website as I have worked hard for it - has PR and contantly increasing traffic each day.

    A very unfortunate situation. you really do need to talk to legal counsel as it seems they have done that already.

    Nothing to surprise, it can happen due to lots of reason, you just contact to your domain provider then I hope you will get a better solution.
