    Hi everyone,

    I have a question that I am sure has been asked before but I simply cannot find anywhere. I'm trying to find out if any of the following domains would be considered trademark violations. These will be informational sites and will not sell any products.

    Example 1:

    www.US-trademarkname-stores.com
    www.widgetstores.com/US/trademarkname

    Example 2:

    www.USCompaqStores.com
    www.computerstores.com/US/compaq

    In each example, I think the 2nd domain is safer. Would I be correct in that assumption?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Yes the second domain in your examples is safer.
