Can a future Trademark affect me?
What I'm wondering is if I have a website that did not have any trademarked terms in the domain when I registered it, what are the potential effects if in the future someone trademarks the words in my domain?
This is theoretical, it is not a situation I am currently in, which is why I'm asking here instead of consulting an attorney. But I've been doing some domain name research and it got me wondering.
So, if today I register a domain that I cannot find any trademarks for and cannot find any companies using and then two years from now a company decides to create a product or service by that name and trademarks it, do they have the right to force me to stop using that domain name that I registered before the trademark existed?
