    Trademark Question

    I am in a situation that is very similar to this, and I wondered if someone might be able to help me please. There is a TradeMark, let's call it "Fluffy hats", and the other company has TM with protection under a Product class, and not any Service classes. Let's say I registered a domain name...

    Using a TradeMark (Series Mark) to protect a Domain Name

    Interesting... there is no current owner of the 'other' domain because it's being sold by one of the big domain registrars, though I suppose the registrar might object if they noticed. As for claiming the other domain, this isn't as important to me as preventing any new buyer of the other...

    Therapy Online, need advice

    @neils3, yes it is for a private practice where the clients would end up meeting the therapist. @fisicx, thanks but I am looking for a guide for a physical biz. I know there are often subtle differences for this compared with just promoting a blog or exclusively online service etc.

    Therapy Online, need advice

    Hi there Alice & other forum members, Could you please tell me where I can find a marketing guide for therapists in private practice?

    How to claim electricity and broadband use

    Ahhh - well spotted JBlack. :) 10% of floor space, tho also she has calculated that she only uses it for one sixth of the total 24 hrs in the day (4 hours). ... This'll mean I can't claim as much... Oh well, I guess it's good not to be in the dark :cool:

    How to claim electricity and broadband use

    Thanks. I think in my case, my work room is a computer room, where I'm always using the computer while connected to the net - while working. ... So I guess in my case 75% of one is also 75% of the other. However, after reading this, claiming a % of the room might not be permitted...
