well guys, i have a question that i dont know if i shud ask it here or open a new thread, but does the same legal issues about trademarks in domains apply to subdomains? .blogspot.com for example as kunalmg asked in the very first begining, i was planning to do a website containing information about certain trademark (mainly a directory for it's dealers) for example ( apple-dealers dot com ) i think this is illegal, even considering the fact that it can be considered that i m promoting them? if it's illegal, how about using a subdomain, does same constrains apply? for example apple dot computer-dealers dot com will apple complain about such stuff? is it legal to use it. one last thing about using the name in subdomain of blogspot.com is it legal? thanks everyone for the help edited to add (here i mean mainly famous offline trademarks as i mentioned "apple" "IBM" "Dell" for example, i dont mean someone registering "xyz.com" as a tradename or as a patent)
This is interesting stuff guys. I am planning on setting up quite a few different blogs using high keyword names. I'll be rethinking this from the comments of this thread.
