Trademarks

Has anyone ever trademarked a business name or domain/slogan? If so does it only apply to US or anywhere ICANN is established?

  • Just the US/jurisdiction that you are in.

    Thanked by 1IgniteServers
  • Wouldn't worry about it. No one's going to use "Passions Ignited, Expectations Shattered".

    Thanks just what I needed to know.

  • If you register a trademark in somewhere like the UK it applies across Europe I think. Also helps to get fake domains removed VERY quickly!

    Also helps with ownership of a domain from another entity, if that domain is relevant to your company. With Ignite being so generic I doubt it'll work.
