I am looking to create a search site that will allow users to mine data based on vehicle types, makes etc. Are there legal ramifications that I need to be aware of by putting car names in a search site such as HONDA? Linked search words? I would think they would be fair use terms but wanted to make sure. Thanks fish
Contact a lawyer or the company. While getting an answer here may make you feel better, it's not legal advice or even correct.
I dont know about Honda but i know the Ford company is starting to send out letters to all the websites with the word "Mustang" in it. Some of them have already change their names. If your site is going to be small i wouldnt worry about. If it becomes huge then i would start thinking about it.
