Country specific TLD's & Trademark

people registering my trademark in country specific domain names

[SuperZu]

Hi to all
I have a question about trademark protection. Our web site is a well-known international brand that exists only online. We have an internationally registered trademark mytrademark.com. We are very well know both in the country where we are based and abroad, our web site has 100.000 + unique visitors daily. Third parties however have started using our name by registering country-specific domain names such as mytrademark.co.uk and mytrademark.de and putting affiliate content from our direct competitors on these pages. Is there anything we can do about this? The trademark we registered is mytrademark.com, not just Mytrademark. Does this make any difference? It is clear that mytrademark.nl etc. have been registered with the purpose of making money using our well-know brand. Any advice welcome.

Don't listen to a word of advice that you get here. There's very few qualified lawyers who post and I'm not sure there's any who are IP specialists. You need to see an expert trademark lawyer in your own country without delay.

Thanks, Judge Jeffries! I was planning to do that but before taking legal action I just wanted to find out if there was anybody who has been in the same position and how they solved it.
