I have a domain name that I think may infringe on a certain companies trademark. Let say its pradaauctions.com <<<example. I would add eBay and Adsense ads to this site and write posts weekly. Is this an infringement or their trademark?
Yes, there was a case on DP a few months back where the company took screenshots of the persons website. Basically ads use relevance of your site to recommend viewers to other links. In this case the website was a fan site of some sunglasses company, the ads were pointing to the brands website for relevance. The company still sued him and forced him to take it down because he was getting money from adverts linking him to their site. They screenshotted the adverts and he was told by legal to basically take it down or go to jail. It depends what your site is about, if you are selling their products then fine but include a disclaimer and credits to the brand owners, if its a fan site or portal then contact the company and get a response. Always seek legal advice before proceeding though, I am no legal expert and take no responsibility for any monies gained, lost or mistakes made. Regards Andy
