Hi, can we use example, say i want to use sony and will have a domain name with sony name, can we do that?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Ah ok was just a question, i didn't know if we couldbor not. Like say vrfacebook, things like that.short answer no, long answer, noooooooo
why take the risk?
imo....
Sony was just an example.Make your own brand. Sony sill sue you.
I know, but all brands will protect their names, such as microsoft, apple, google and so on...Sony was just an example.
It can be risky for them I think. Once they allow people to use their name..customers will think t's the official brand when it's not. So if a seller on amazon has questionable business practices then that can affect nike etc.. That's why it's called "brand protection".... they can gain money as you stated, but they can lose way more if they allow it and get sued or get their reputation soiled. They want to control their own image. I'm sure nike don't have a problem selling sneakers.Aren't there websites developed that in brand domains for SEO purposes? For example.
Amazon sells Nike,Dell,iPods etc,etc
Wouldn't these companies be more than happy to allow Amazon to own Nikesneakers.com and point it to
Amazon.com/Nike.html? ?
I mean ultimately Nike will be the winner as it's helping it's customers get a domain or seo "edge" to sell it's products.
Or do these big companies really just can't be reasoned with?
I know, but all brands will protect their names, such as microsoft, apple, google and so on...
Isn't that what you are asking? If you can use an established brand name along with your name.. like SonyVentures.com, SonySteger.com etc...
Incidental inclusion is the only option but still very risky. For example, I have nudiebay. It includes *bay but they decided to leave me be.
So if you had Liasony.com. It might be okay.
