Yesterday I received an email from someone about a trademark infringement. We are in the same industry and our names differ by 1 letter. However, when I registered the domain name they were not around. Their site seems to be quite new while mine is almost 2 years old and has a few blogs and videos about it. Theirs seems to not have this yet, I feel they may be trying to piggyback off my existing traffic.
Problem is, I have not trademarked my name as I'm still in the process of trying to make revenue, so I'm worried this means I will have to change it. Is there anything I can do to keep the name?
I'm a student and I don't really have the money to spend on trademarking (or lawyers!) as of yet, so I wanted to focus on generating revenue before I worried about legal issues. Perhaps this was a mistake.
I really like my current name and don't want to change it, I'm worried it will destroy my business. Anyone got any advice?
Thanks in advance.
