Hyper Products
Can your email name be a trademark infringement?
If your email address is hyper-product@yahoo.com, and then next year, a company called Hyper-product opens up, can they do anything legally to make you sell or change your email name?
You have no trademark rights in a name that is not being used to identify the source of goods or services currently in the marketplace. If a company used that mark as its name and used it to identify itself as the source of its goods or services, then it would obtain rights in the name (assuming that no one else is already using the name, in which case things would get pretty complicated for them.) The company would have the right to stop anyone else from using the name in any way that might cause confusion among the company's potential customers. If you used your email address in any way that might cause confusion about whether you are associated with the company, then you would arguably be infringing their trademark, you could be ordered by a court to stop, and you could be subjected to fines if you failed to do so. Your use of the mark in the email name prior to the company's use of it in the trademark does not matter, because you did not use the mark as a trademark.
