Hello, I registered the term "Sportsbook" alone in a domain name and wondering if this would be a trademark infringement? I noticed last year that "Sportsbook.Mobi" was sold without a trademark issue. See here: http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2007/domainsales01-23-07.htm Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Another domain being sold without issue doesn't mean anything. Descriptive marks are usually not able to be trademarked (except if the mark has acquired a secondary meaning) - which is why there is a trademark on sportbook.com. As always, it comes down to if the other party "thinks" you are infringing upon their mark and starts legal action which will require you to spend vast sums of money to keep the domain. In most situations such as yours, you shouldn't have a problem.
