Hi guys, first of all, we are not lawyers (almost - i think so), so we can't determine exactly which side is right or wrong in the TradeMark (TM) battle if there is a cyber squatting between the holder and the squatter. But today, i list some of my situation about TM, so we can discuss which domain we can register, and which shoudn't register. Okay, let's go!
We always hear and always read that " Do not register TradeMark". So how many people here can determine which is TM and which is not ? Or just avoid all and miss some niches ?
- EX1 : Surely TM :
google.com
paypal.com
googleservices.com
mypaypal.com
Yes, those type of domains are TM, because there are specific name that very easily to realize a product, brands and so plz, run away from them as fast as you can, or you will have a lawsuit with cyber squatting later.
- EX2 : Half-Half:
AppleCargo.com
OracleConsulting.com
ShopGecko.com
Those type of domain are created from common words have fully meaning. As you can see, Apple and Oracle are 2 big corps, so AppleCargo and OracleConsulting can be TM ? Do Apple and Oracle can apply a cyber squatting to get those domains ? The same as ShopGecko with Gecko is a common word and have tons of TM ( I checked on Trademarkia and AppleCargo, OracleConsulting and ShopGecko and there isn't any TM registered)
-EX3 : maybe, ya
boondie.com
bronker.com
Those specific domains that don't have any TM applied on Trademarkia, but there are some company with those name ( i assume that). So should we register it ? and in the future, do those company can apply a cyber squatting to get them ?
- EX4 : Generic, Geoneric, Numeric Domain : best domains to register with a tiny ratio having problems with TM battle.
So what do you think ?
