An Illinois Court has ruled that a third party's date of registration for a domain name cannot be used by a subsequent purchaser to "tack" trademark rights absent evidence that the original registrant used the domain name as a mark and conveyed goodwill as part of the sale. The court affirmed that mere registration of a domain name does not constitute trademark use.
