Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: Internet trademark infringement

Your trademark does not grant you an absolute monopoly on the "word" or the verbiage you registered. In addition, as already advised, you have important legal obligations to fulfill before you can assert an infringement claim against your proprietary mark.

Be careful not to launch threats (such as with a cease and desist letter) without legal certainty as to the scope of your mark and the extent of the alleged infringement.

Consider a consult with an attorney knowledgeable in this area of the law and in relation to internet law.

Re: Internet trademark infringement

If your trademark is registered you have the option of suing for infringement. Where you would sue would dpend both upon your location and the location of the infringing party. Under certain circumstances attorneys fees are recoverable in trademark litigation.
