The domain name ButtonMakers.com which was registered by the domain holder in 2007 was just lost in a UDRP to Rockstar Industries, LLP which registered a trademark in 2014.

The one member panel of Dr. Katalin Szamosi found the Complainant had established common law trademark rights to the term “Button Makers” as early as September 2004, despite that it’s pretty generic as far as I’m concerned.

The panel also put a lot of weight on the fact that the domain owned never used buttonmakers.com other than to forward it to buybuttonparts.com, which is a competitor to the Complainant finding that was not a legitimate use.
