name is already taken in .com. Legal implications depend on the second level
domain name you choose and your intended/actual use of it.
On a related note, you may do better to register the name in .ORG and/or .NET
instead of .co.uk since ccTLDs are governed under laws of the country they
belong to, which in the case of .UK is United Kingdom. This is primarily why I
no longer register domain names in ccTLDs.

I have a company called "Euromade Systems Ltd" which I wanted to register the
domain name Euromade.com. I realized that the name has already been registered by
a company in Luxembourg by the name of "The Format Group" at address: Route de
Retsdorf 18, Beaufort, Luxembourg 6311.
I have sent an email to the contact email address which I found in the registry
information (In...@EUROMADE.COM) but the mail was returned due to invalid address.
I feel helpless and I don't know who I can turn to to resolve this issue.
Could you please advise!
Here is the email which I sent to the Format Group on Mon, 12 Apr 1999

Dear Bernd Britten
I am writing to you as a Director of Euromade Systems LTD in the UK
regarding the Domain Name Euromade.com which is currently registered
under your Organisation: The Format Group at address: Route de
Retsdorf 18, Beaufort, Luxembourg 6311.
Euromade systems is a UK registered company which has been operating
in the UK since 1991 in the IT Services.
We are in the process of setting up our Web site, providing IT
solutions over the internet to our customers.
I am rather puzzled by your interest in this company's name, Euromade
which can be both misleading to our customers and to those who are
genuinely searching the internet to find us.
I would like to resolve this issue in a professional manner and
without any legal implications, and I hope you would agree with me
that the legitimate Registrant of this domain name should be Euromade
systems which contains the name.
I would therefore appreciate if you could cancel your registration of
Euromade and inform me of your decision.
I look forward to hearing from you within the next two weeks.
Yours Sincerely
Nason Mohajer
Director

I don't know why this company registered EUROMADE.COM, but I don't have much
hope it'll transfer the domain name without receiving compensation, just because
you have a company with that name in one European country.
Good luck,
(-: S.T.

or Euromade Systems in commerce OR only as a company name?? If you're only
using it as a company name, you most likely have no claim to the euromade.*
domains based on Patent (trademark) law. NSI's dispute policy won't help much
since it doesn't sound like you have a registered mark for euromade.
If you're still insistant in getting the domain name and the current owner
doesn't give in to your demand, then you'll either need to get an attorney
involved or drop the issue. Also note that euromade.net and euromade.org are
owned by a speculator.
Since you're a UK company why not register euromade.co.uk? Makes more sense.
You may also consider euromadesystems.com (.net & .org) instead.

Things that might weaken your case:
As an IT company, so presumably Internet savvy, how come you've only
just got around to trying to register your name?
Euromade could be said to be descriptive - i.e. made in Europe.
As a UK company, what's wrong with euromade.co.uk? That's the first
address I would try if I were looking for a UK company.
If the company in Luxembourg are not an IT company your case for
"confusing the consumer" could be rebutted.
My comments are just my opinion and do not constitute advice.
