advice Can I register a name of the last century writer?

Anna_M · Feb 21, 2020

The site will be dedicated to this writer's works.

The writer is not as popular as - say - VictorHugo.com, but still.

An exact domain name is available.

Any advice is much appreciated.

I am very sure that if you are going to use it as a fan-site that that is absolutely alright. But I am not a lawyer so whatever I said you should ignore lol.

It's not an issue to register someone else's name, unless it's trademarked. So don't forget to check resources such as tmsearch uspto gov and trademark-clearinghouse com/content/claims-notice.

Sorry, I'm not allowed to post with links yet

Fan site, right, but monetizing it with links/ads a bit complicates the case : )
