Sky Television PLC British Sky Broadcasting (BSKYB) Along with the many 'sky digital' etc, brands of the 'sky' trademark. If I were to use the word "SKY" in a domain name, for example: skymediatvguide.com skytvserviceonline.com Could this be construed as a trademark violation? If this is feasible to use as a domain/website name, would I be required to display a disclaimer? The fact that I would be offering a service not indifferent to what 'Sky' offer, or market for, is this a risky choice of name?
Used for anything related to broadcast TV you might encounter some problems. Used with any of combination of words you should be fine. UK laws may be looser or tighter than the laws I an accustomed to. Now if you left tv out of those domain names and used it as anchor text on your site, most likely you could get away with it.
