Overview: What obligation does a trade owner have to purchase all relevant domain names and misspellings pertaining to its trademark? If the trademark owner does not register all the variations, are they free for the taking? Who has rights to domain names pertaining to defunct businesses? These are questions posed by a reader regarding domains in his portfolio. Although each case turns on its own facts, this paper explains principles which can be used as guidelines with respect to whether a domain name is at risk and could be attacked by a trademark owner.
