Dear All,

One of my client is having business in cloths and has a website too.
The website is a recent one and having "s" in the name.. say Captalise.uk.in

And a similar site of another trader in UK exsists with a similar name, but with "Z" in name ... say Captalize.uk.in

Now due to this resemblence, many of the clients of that UK trader started calling my frind and traded with my client aslo.

When the foreign trader in UK came to about it, he called up my client and asked him to take some action.

My client has blocked his site till the matter is resolved as he is worried about legal action from the foreign trader.

The first date of use of the website/ name by that forign user is older one.

what can be done in this case? What actions my client might will have to face? Kindly advice.
