Thanks, but it's gonna have to be .com.lb
After more careful reading, and starting the process to adjust the trademark certificate, I've come across that if your trademark is part of a logo then it's not applicable. So for instance Coca-Cola registers their logo using their special font, that doesn't mean if they apply usage to online media that it will be accepted.
No, they have to create a new trademark written in PLAIN letters. So, not using their font, but registering
cocacola
just like that and then putting the usage for online media to be able to register the domain name.
I wonder the impact this could have on most Lebanese companies here who have registered trademarks but not their name in plain Latin/English letters. I mean one would think that I have my logo registered then I should be covered, but apparently the logo and text are not related. I'm very interested to try and register abcmall, kassatly, and some others. lol. But in the case of kassatly, that is actually a family name and you are not allowed to register family names.
According to domain disputes and registering a domain, this seems interesting.
Domain names are registered on a "first come, first served" basis. It is not the registry duty
or responsibility to screen requested domain names to determine whether the use of a
domain name by an applicant may infringe upon the right(s) of a third party.
The company would have to take you to court and we all know how quick the court process is here.
