Cheers,
Tristan

g'day Tristan,

Did you conduct a Trademark search?
Check out "Where can I conduct a trademark search?" at the The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website

sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but you provide "tips on available domain names" and yet you register domains that contain the words "google" and "adsense"?...that makes no "sense".

 

[TristanH]

I never said I was an expert on domains and trademarks or domain law "Tips on available domains," yes. Tips on domain name law and trademark? Not so much, obviously.

 

[chrysalis55]

Yes, I can see that....and you advocate people buying "key word rich" domains containing trademarks like "ford", "windowsXP", and so on. Perhaps you need to learn a bit more before you provide your advice.

 

[TristanH]

I agree, there's more I could learn, but I see no harm in providing potentially useful information to people before I have a perfect knowledge of all things domain-related. The trademarked domains have been removed from the lists, I appreciate the feedback, and no offense taken. Have a great day!

I don't think most people associate "providing potentially useful information" with potentially being sued

It is understandable that you do not know everything. No one here at NamePros have perfect knowledge about all aspects of domaining, that is why we discuss all sorts of things related to domains. However knowing not to include obvious trademarks such as Google", "Microsoft" etc. in domain names is very fundamental. Spend a lot of time here at NamePros and read domain related news etc. for at least a couple months before you advice other people.

Value of domains: lawsuit

read a little more before wasting your cash, good names here in sales threads

 

[komalselva]

If its trademark infringement, what about domains like shoutcasti.com, shoutcastpro.us , shoutcastblog.com I think they are available online for years (Shoutcast is a registered trademark of AOL)

 

[Dustie]

Tristan, I will say, it's best to offer help in fields that you know much about. If you like this field and want to offer advice in it, theres much here to learn. Stick around. You just had your first lesson, and it was a good one to learn, and, in turn, share with others.

It may cause TM issue. Reg fees.

I would go a little bit further.
It would definately, 100,000% cause a Tm issue.
Delete ASAP.

We built both AdsenseForums and AdsenseWorld several years ago. They were both built clearly with disclaimers advising users that they were enthusiast communities for users of those products - which are obviously TMs of GOOG.

While we still hold AdsenseWorld, we recently sold the forums name (and site) ... there are also existing variants in production (live sites with active communities or sites) in extensions other than .com

It's certainly a grey zone - grey being how you use it and how the TM holder chooses to enforce their TM rights. Intellectual property law is not to be taken lightly.

$0 value, delete and move on, why even waste your time with someone elses property. A C&D letter and you will wish you never heard the term Google.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

This thread is already indexed at google.That is good ADvertising

Keyword domain names

 

[limocine]

Well, its not a grey zone, its straight up black zone, the only difference is that some guys got caught some dont.

I guess its different from a site developer point of view where you put your sweat and blood into a site and you dont want people to just take it away from your hands as oppose to (CMIIW) domainer who would just flip sites?
