A domain that contains the word Adsense will it suffer a problem. I was listening webmasterradio.fm about the adsense.com situation.. changeing , to adsense2.com
This whole trademark thing is very sticky. But it seems the answer is in your post... So they're using adsense2.com right? This will take some more research to answer with a solid/definitive answer. What would the domain be used for? Where in the domain is the word adsense?
Well, anywhere in the domain could be adsense , the site will be About adsense solutions articles written about it etc.
Well... since you will not be competing with adsense or running an advertising network, I think you'll be ok. But I can't promise that. You might consider sending an email to google and request permission to use the domain you wish to use. That would be a safe bet. Or... setup the site and see what happens... worst case I think would be a letter asking you to stop using it... which I don't think will happen. Anyhow, good luck!
It the site will have anything to do with google's adsense program, tips, discussion, etc, or even web advertising programs, then it would be trademark infringement. You can't use a trademarked term in your domain if the content of the site is anyway related to the classification of a registered trademark.
Then In that case , we cannot write contents under the adsense named domain site... "thats what I thought". I was listening to webmasterradio.fm They said the same just wanted make sure . Thanks every1
I disagree. And have further researched it. Information can be found here... directly from google. Also, simply take a look around... there are many sites like: adsense***.com Just one for example is adsensechat.com which is second in google results for adsense articles. It was resgistered 29-Jul-2005. It's still there, and doing quite well. That's just one example. Simply search, and you will see. So, as I said before... I don't think you will have a problem. And at the very least, if you wish to feel more secure about it, use the request process from google. Just click the link above. Don't simply kill your idea over our opinions. Good luck
Google says you cannot use "Adsense" which is a Federally Registered trademark without their permission. They will not grant permission for a domain name that conflicts with their usage, but you can try. You are under the false impression that because someone is doing something, it must be ok. You could no doubt find some child porn sites, but no one is going to argue they are legal - yet they exist. There are thousands of sites that use copyrighted images - and maybe only a small percentage are caught. But those that are caught can be stuck with a bill for thousands of dollars per image. If you think a trademark holder isn't going to have a problem with using their trademark in a domain name, then you should have no problem getting them to put in in writting. If you infringe upon a trademark, you can be forced to pay damages, give up all income the site has generated, and pay treble legals fees. They can also take the domain whenever they want.
I only disagree with Alis giving up on her idea based on our tips, opinions, or whatever. I'm not saying that infringment is something you can disregard. I am merely pointing out the current scene involving the use of adsense in a domain. I've also suggesting to ask for permission, and I also provided the link to get started. I think that if you setup a site like adsenseisfraud.com you'd be shut down in a jiffy. But to me, it seems that as long as you follow their rules and suggestions, they will not have a problem with a site that is basically assisting their existing and potential customers with insights/articles... assuming that's what the site will do. So... if the site is a place for adsense users and such to congregate and discuss using the form of articles... no... I don't think there will be a problem. So, I'm not saying, "jump off the bridge because others are doing it", I'm just saying, "hey... they bungy'ed and they're still ok... so it's your choice..., but if you do, you might want to check the harness". mjewel, your info here is good. I'm not shooting it down. Just making that clear.
I understand what you are saying, and many, many people also think that if you are giving a positive image and "bringing them business" you can do it or that they won't care. This is wrong, because the trademark holders don't go after sites because they think they are costing them business, they do it to protect their trademark. If they allow other sites to use their trademark, they can actually lose it. The are REQUIRED to take action against trademark infringers regardless of if the are "positive sites" or not. "Dry Ice" and "Aspirin" used to be trademarks - but those companies lost the trademark because they did not go after infringement. Now anyone can use those terms. I don't know if google will or won't take action against a particular domain, but I know if you use "adsense" in a domain name and that they content is related to google, it's infringement and the could take if they wanted. I highly doubt google is going to sue in this case (they would take or demand the site be taken down), but there are large companies that do sue. It's a risk... and maybe nothing will happen, but I wouldn't want to put a lot of work into a site only to have it taken away one, two or three years down the road. The larger your site becomes, the greater the risk.
