I believe you can't, considering the recent facebook case in which FB has filed a complaint against the following domains: aboutfacebook.com facebookbabes.com facebookcheats.com facebookclub.com facebookdevelopment.com facebookfest.com facebookintegration.com facebookjournal.com facebookking.com facebookland.com facebooksafety.com facebookstudio.com facebookstuff.com freefacebookapps.com friendsonfacebook.com fundraisingwithfacebook.com joinusonfacebook.com killfacebook.com moneyfromfacebook.com moneywithfacebook.com newfacebookapplication.com Code (markup): why? because they all have facebook in them, for more information about the same you can visit this page: udrpsearch.com/wipo/d2011-0516 Similarly, hsbc wouldn't be happy to see if you use hsbc in your domain name, hope it answers your question
ok I see This is strange because what if i use subdomain - that is ok? What punishment those people who use all those facebook domains can get? They just take those domains from owners or they have to pay money ?
they might loose there domains & sites ... also, they might have to go through various laws about trademark violation I have seen many cases where the domains has been canceled and sometimes the domains get transferred to the the other party
You can BUY any domain that isn't already owned by anyone else. Whether you can KEEP it is another story. If you use it in a way that violates someone else's trademark, then there is a very good chance that you will lose the trademark.
you can buy but you can't use for same theme that is for this that you can't use it for online banking
Go to either link below: http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search/ http://domains.adrforum.com/decision.aspx Search under complainant, then see how their domain-trademark disputes turned out.
Funny domain for an article, seems much more appropriate for a phishing site wouldn't you think? Do you really think ANY bank is going to want some random person having a site with their name and the word login? Honestly man, this is one stupid thread.
Yup, at first sight it seems more of a phishing domain OP, if you are really interested in writing articles then think about some sensible domains
The biggest problem that you may encounter is that HSBC may confiscate from you your site. You are lucky if they will offer to buy it from you but that happens rarely. If you will pursue this, just pray that you will not get caught.
If the name is trademarked which I'm sure HSBC is, your going to have some issues unless you can somehow prove it's not using just HSBC. For example if your company was HSBCW or something. hsbconlinebanking is asking for trouble.
