Can a family domain be taken away?

Question

Domain name market

The use of proper names in domains is fraught with a lawsuit, but so far we have only seen claims from corporations. Having registered a family domain name the other day, I wondered if slow-moving well-known namesakes could claim it?

Answer 1

If you have not registered your last name as a trademark (such as "Smirnov"), then they cannot. If they were able to register (and even illegally), then they can.

Answer 2

If the domain is registered before the trademark, will you still have to give the domain away?

Answer 3

On what grounds?
In my opinion, even corporations do not always sue, preferring to buy domains. And even more so you don’t have to worry about sluggish well-known namesakes ... They have no reason to. It's not a registered trademark...
