    There are various ways that you can protect your Intellectual Property including registering trademarks, designs and domain names.

    "Actinic" is a registered trademark in the area in which Actinic operates. The fact that "Actinic" is used in other contexts is irrelevant, otherwise "Orange" couldn't be trademarked. Actually, the use of the colour orange is protected in the mobile phone space, would you believe.

    Because we have our trade mark, we can approach anyone with a domain name containing "Actinic" that encroaches on our space and ask them to stop. Incidentally, we have already done that a few weeks ago with the domain name mentioned earlier in this thread.

    It'a actually not true that we can't do anything about people using "Actinic" in their domain names. I'll make sure that is clarified for others in the company. We have a legal right to take action against anyone using our trademark in our area , although obviously not if someone is selling light bulbs, which isn't in our area.

    Trade marking is, in my opinion, a critical defense. If they can afford it, I would recommend people register their trademark before they even open up their business. That way, you can make sure that you can actually trademark the name you've chosen (some names are too generic and aren't allowed) and you can also make sure no-one else has already got it. Once you've started up, it's very hard to change names.

    Incidentally, as a result of having a trade mark, we are able to get Google and eBay to stop people advertising on our name.

          wise words

          if you are going to add a comprehensive service in this sector you must be able to offer your prospective clients sound advice and that will include domain names etc

          so, before you start, research trademark and copyright laws....could save you time and money in the long run

                Nice one Jonty.

                One little thing - How do you know which message is which if I order more than one card?

                  I was just wondering the same thing, but nice site

                  How are your clients going to control the delivery dates, im guessing they are using some scheduler on the backend just curious as to what and how it works

                    The personalisation is a new venture and will be single card orders initially ... should it take we will look at a slightly different option with the info prompt against each product which slides out to reveal when activated by the user. This has already been coded and ready to implement as required.
