Domain name with a trademark

[Justin Matmor]

Would it be risky to register a name that is trademarked in India?

Further to the OP, are we meant to check trademarks in every jurisdiction before we register a domain?

I would say always steer clear of US trademarks, and trademarks in areas where you realistically stand to be getting an audience -- so if your site is in French and caters almost exclusively to French web traffic, I'd be less worried about an Indian trademark.

Let me clarify that I am simply referring to words which may be trademarked or branded in one country or another, not actual deliberate trademark infringement.
