question Would this encroach on a trademark?

[Sjpals]

Normally I steer VERY clear of anything that looks like a trademark, but what about this scenario...

I have found a news outlet that could also be a regular word (like sun, mirror etc). It is the...... in a country TLD. (so like "theSun or like "themirror". The same country they are in, but dont use (like the UK has .co.uk,.org.uk and .uk etc).

I presume that as long as I didnt do any kind of news related stuff, and just did a blog related to the regular word eg all about suns, or all about mirrors etc, then it should be totally fine, right?

Never mind. decided against it. bought something else instead.

Yep, it's better don't buy such names...
Other point of view: there are people who own tons of such names and find with that.
