    Hi there,

    I need some guidance in choosing the business and domain names for my company.

    Suppose if the legally registered company's name are Viva, Harvest, Heritage, Dell etc.

    I want to know that can I make my company name and domain names based on the following combinations.

    My Company Name My URL

    Viva Web Solutions www.vivawebsolutions.com
    Harvest Web Solutions www.harvestwebsolutions.com
    Heritage Web Solutions www.heritagewebsolutions.com
    Dell Web Solutions www.dellwebsolutions.com

    By making the above combinations are there any copyrights or trademark infringements or issues.

    If there are any copyrights or legal issues then how can I avoid them.

    I will really appreciate any help in this matter.

    Best Regards
    bushib

    Hi there,

    This was just an example. :)

    I am not going to add any name from my post but I want to be sure that can we make combinations of names or not?

    Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

    Regards

    Of course there are trademark problems with using these domains because you're using part of the major corp names with just the word web solutions after it.. I would avoid using them..

    Hi there,

    It was just an example I am not going to use any name form that list.

    Actually before registering the name I want to be 100 % sure that there is not legal issues with the name, which I have selected for my company.

    So if I choose a random word like "unique", "total", "global", "dynamic" and make a combination

    such as www.dynamicwebsolutions.com,
    www.globalwebsolutions.com etc.

    How can I know that if there are trademark or legal issues associated with these names or not?

    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Regards
    bushib
