l may be putting my subject matter in the wrong “area,”’but l’m afraid to put it in any other thread because an intrepid NamePros “detective” will likely tell me l can’t post my message without adding tags.
And even though l teach university English, l never learned what a tag is, so NamePros has more than a few times prevented me from sending a message.
I’ve bought more than 50 domain names from NameSilo and revere NamePros’ many positives, but l believe it has one glaring Achilles Heel: it assumes members know the zillion different domaining terms found on this site—and offers no way for in-the-dark members to find out what these terms mean. I mean a glossary would be so helpful that contains brief definitions of such terms as “tags,”’”Domain Authority,” “LLLL,” “blockchain,”—and myriad more terms that relate almost exclusively to domaining. Oh well, no one—or web site—is perfect.
Anyway, l’m into naming for SquadHelp, and a recent Contest requested domain names for hair salons.
I came up with a quality name, in my mind, that wasn’t registered as a domain name. I became curious whether my “haircare salon” name was trademarked, and learned l could find out by checking TESS, a sort of Whois for trademarks.
Nope, my hair idea was not trademarked. If it were, and here finally is the reason for my message (if you can read it, as NamePros has allowed me to send it without a tag)—if my “hair salon name” was trademarked—does this trademark take precedence over an exactly-the-same-name domain name? And so the ”trademarker” could legally preclude the domainer from naming his or her salons using
a trademarked name?
Confused? I can understand. But if you understand the thrust of my message, l would certainly appreciate an answer.
Thanking you in advance!
