I have recently noticed that domains are being sold with marks in the domain name, I myself also have purchased these domains in the past. Thinking that there was no harm because the mark was part of a larger domain name. For example, lets say you see a cheap domain name with pepsi in it, say pepsidrinks.com Well that could be confused with pepsi.com So expect a problem with using the first name of a domain name as a mark. That is a real problem, some others have said that you can get away with it in some cases, but in reality, at any time under any circumstances you can end up in trouble. The best thing is to not buy a domain name with a famous mark in it, that is just the way it works, now you could take this to the extream end of the conversation and say that any thing with the word drink might be confusing with pepsi but that would be a hard sell so if you got a domain name with say. GreatDrinks.com then you should be find, of course always make sure that you are not buying the wrong, domain. Just because it looks good does not mean it is good, you could end up paying serveral hundred dollars for nothing but a few images and files. just a few thoughts, because you can make the wrong decision.
wow.... thanks for the info.. i will more carefully from now.. em.. i got few question.. where is the best place to buy domain? thanks
Well, There is no Best Place to buy a Domain. Where you feel safe and secure, That is the best Domain Registrar Client. Many Use Godaddy,hostgator, Name.com so and so on. Thanks
This is really a useful info for the domain purchasers like me. I will definitely look into the points enumerated by you.
Trademark infringement is a serious matter. Companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build their brands and are understandably very protective of their marks. It continues to amaze me that new crops of domain purchasers think that they have discovered a road to riches by simply buying a domain with a well known trademark plus an extra word or two to make it "different." You can post this advice today, but tomorrow dozens of domains will be registered by people trying to leach off the popularity of an existing trademark.
