Hallo everyone! I have a quetion connected with the violation of a domain's trademark rules. For example, if there exists some registered comany under the name of "Royal Fashion" (there isn't any company like that, it's just an example) and they have the domain www.royalfashion.com. And if I buy the domain www.fashionroyal.com, that is the inverted name, and I use this domain for the same fashion industry sphere, writing fashion related blog posts that have nothing in common with that company and its products, can it be considered violation of trademark rules? Will I encounter any problems in this case? Thanks in davance for the advice.
"Royal Fashion's" lawyers could always mount a suit and point out that the simple inversion still means that your company or service is leveraging the good-will of their name. Without knowing the exact domain you are thinking of, it is hard for me to say for certain. It is good practice to stay away from registered trademarks and shield yourself from any potential liability.
Yes, that could easily be trademark violation. It would depend on the actual domain names, but mere reversal of words, or adding of words, does not get you around a trademark violation. If the words are generic then they may not have any trademark protection even though it is the name of their company. Again, it is impossible to give you any accurate information without the exact domain names in question.
Essentially, it depends on strength of trademark (if any), usage, and consumer behavior. If, say, you registered softmicro dot tld and put content about software, that could create issues with Microsoft.
