Dont go near them. As you know/must have an idea Barclay is a big bank company. Ay domains close to ones they use im sure they will take away from you.

Thanks in advance!

If Barclay were to be nitty-gritty about these things, they would go suing many people! :lol:

Moreover, the Barclays isn't trademarked...I think...

Yes but the names listed above where all to do with Barclays bank not just the word Barclay.

you will be paying for legal suits more than what you can make out of them.

May I ask why it isn't a TM?

I believe they do business commercially and are well established, right? That does give them a TM in many peoples eyes (like courts).

However, with the domains in question and given Barclays seems diluted, much would depend on its usage. If you offered finanacial services under the Barclays name, then you would possibly be infringing on thier mark on the financial business world. The samples of other "barclays" are in different fields (I just glanced brielfy).

Just like Apple and Windows, the names are TMed in certain catagories. You have Apple computers and Apple records. Two completely different fields. But when Apple computer started offereing music, a suit was filed by Apple records for infringement. I can't remember at this moment the status of that.

So this may be a case of how the names are used. But if you show bad faith, rest assurded you could lose them.

As mentioned, the name in itself maybe be ok, but the usage would play a huge role whether bad faith could be proven. IE- You offer competing banking services... that would be bad.
