    I am wondering whether the term "Blogger" copyrighted?

    I wonder I can include blogger in my domain names.

    Blogger is as far as I understand someone who writes weblogs. Therefore, it is a commom term and I think it should not be problem to include "blogger" in my domain names.

    Am I right?

    Any opinions appreciated.

    thanks

    No, it's not copyrighted. How could it be copyrighted?

    I think he means trademarked.

    On the Blogger homepage the TM mark appears to the right of the logo - so the brand (logo) is definitely trademarked.

    We cannot confirm from this whether the TM extends to the single word "blogger" though - but I doubt it

    well i've seen many websites, especially those with templates that have URLs containing blogger: bloggertemplates, blogger-templates.blogspot.com and many others.

    So if I register something like

    Blogger-abcdefg.com will not be a problem?
