Will I get any legal notice if i register this domain

Well, i want to register a domain, domain name have good search term in google, currently owner have my-domain.com, will is there any change of any legal issue if i register mydomainforum.com using that particular name in my domain ending forum.com?

Regards

 

yes, of course - you can have a problems and original owner of trademark can take a legal action against you...

 

Its not a trademark of any product. its just an entertainment tv shows related site, which post popular streaming of different popular tv shows, which is old and have decent search volume.

 

not sure on this one (I´m not a lawyer), but in this case, you should be fine. Anyway, If I were you, I would find a more common domain name and try to optimize only subpages on your keyword. What is in it for you? You can target more keywords, than this one...

 

Hmm, Thanks for your suggestion, will try this also.

 

A "service mark" (a trademark for services rather than products) can also apply on domain names. Besides, trade- and service marks don't have to be registered as long as they're used in commerce.

It's really up to that other party if they can afford to assert whatever rights they believe they have.

 

In my opinion you should be fine. mydomainforums.com is quite different than my-domain.com It is still really subjective though. If you are talking about something like cokacolaforum.com I guess you can get in trouble. But if you are talking about something like tvpartsforum.com, which is much more likely that you are, then you should be absolutely fine. There may be a very famous website that is called tv-parts.com but that doesn't mean your domain shouldn't contain those words. I think that if it is not a trademark you should be fine.

Keep in mind that I am not a lawyer and just today I came to these forums to ask a similar question. So I have some doubts about this myself.

 

Don't worry. There is no legal issue. You should be fine....

 

buy a domain which is not of a company or organisation otherwise you will lose your domain registration money.

 

you're fine so long as you arent doing exactly the same thing in the same country. for example, you could be running dating.us, whilst in the uk someone is running dating.co.uk.... the other company will try to prevent you but ultimately they cant unless they have a business set up in the uk before you registered called dating and even then its skeptical. There are some impossible ones to get though like cocacola.tld, pepsi.tld, microsoft.tld, google.tld

It's pretty simple - it's all dependent upon the specific facts and circumstances of the domain name, show and variables you haven't shared with us. If the name itself can be protected under trademark law you will likely be contacted. If the name is a question mark but is being used by a corporation with big bucks, e.g. Disney, if you're reasonably confusing or receiving healthy traffic, they will likely send you a hello letter.

If it's a famous mark, good luck trying to do what Christian mentions. Coca-Cola will not hesitate to take you to WIPO. When you purchase a domain from a registrar, there is an agreement which you sign which compels you to agree to go to arbitration to settle disputes. The word "can't" doesn't sit well with me. And if you want to try even defending it, be prepared to spend money - as in definitely more than $1,000 to defend yourself and making sure that your response to a WIPO complaint makes all the right arguments and concedes nothing that can harm your position.

 

Its quite simple, that domain presents free streaming latest tv shows i.e. if its movie2k and i want movie2kforum?
Hope this make more simple

 

I have honestly owned a bunch of different domains related to "trademark" words or phrases and as long as you aren't trying to "steal" traffic or make a huge profit from the name you should be fine. Usually forums are more lenient as they are a source for help. Halo forums, Call of duty forums, ext have been up years with no problem.

 

Much of this has to do with the industry. Fansites drive up the intensity level and increases sales. Nailing the gamers would bring about a negative result.

Try creating a site using a sports team or Disney character and you'll get a C&D quite quickly. Same goes for Apple. I the auto industry, depends upon the company and chance. Best of luck with your effort.

 

myappleforum and talking about apple tech products will be problem.

myappleforum and talking about actual fruit is not problematic, althought nobody can stop apple from giving you problems anyway.
