No. Tube can not be trademark as it is common dictionary word and only youtube is trademark. Domains with tube are getting popular due to youtube.

This might help with your question,
According to this
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/484644-goodtube-com-10-005-sales-report.html
http://209.85.141.104/search?q=cache...n&ct=clnk&cd=7

youtube.com is a TM of sorts of UTube.com
Quote:
YouTube is willfully confusing customers about the nature of Universal Tube's business.
and they quoted this Law in their defence:

Common dictionary words can and do get trademarked, how it is used is a very important legal factor in any infringement decisions.

Sometimes more than one person can hold a TM for exactly the same name, as long as it is used for a totally different purpose.

An example is the word Inca - There's about 5 different people that have a TM on that word.

...it's a complicated area

I would think the chances of legally defending the right to use that one would be somewhere between zero to nil no matter how you decided to use it.

That is just my personal opinion and NOT a legal statement in any way shape or form.

Best stay away from any TM if you can, although even that can sometimes be difficult.

I myself even own a ____Tube.com domain name. I used to have a few more but already sold them. Tube is not TM's and will not be.

Thanks.
Not as far as I know, & I doubt that YouTube would have any legal recourse against GoodTube.com or similar names, unless they are very similar to YouTube itself like YouTueb.com, etc.

tube is safe in my non-lawyer opinion. too generic.

but- my guess is that goodtube.com sold at that price because it is close to godtube.com which is a developed site. so the infringement is against godtube.com and not youtube.com (if there is infringement). http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...ls/godtube.com
