A good friend of mine has just been contacted by Entrepreneur Magazine and told to change her domain name because it contains the word "entrepreneur" which apparently they have tradmarked. How can that be even possible? Has Yaro Starak of Entrepreneurs-Journey.com had a similar letter or is he too high profile to target? Are we now to see big corporations trademarking one word and then going after anyone, no matter how established the website, who has that one word in their domain? Bullying at it's finest and shameful of Entrepreneur Magazine - just shameful.
