Same domain name different extensions

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 24.2012

Hi

I have a country specific domain like xxx.fr
There is a website with the same domain and different extension like xxx.com

Now they have top level domain .com address whilst I have the minor country specific domain. In this situation will I run into any legal problems down the line?

There is no way I am shutting my website down but I am worried that both our websites are promoting the “same” brand whilst we are not related at all.

Has anyone experienced this situation and if so what happens here?

Thanks
