MASSEY

I know a domain name for sale,

Its the .co.uk of the name of a well known group, i would imagine there name is trademarked.

If i bought it and parked it with adds of maybe a fan site with ads could they take it off me.

The domain has just sat dead with the owner for 4 years.

Cheers,

Lucky Luke

yep they can

namealot

And might even try for some compensation..? If you made any money or they though you had made money or damaged there name in anyway….

MASSEY

what if i invented a made up product, the initials spelt out the band name.

And then put ads around it.

Im not sure i see people who own celeb names and made fan sites.

I dont think people have hard evidence as to what can actually happen.

2 things >

1, A name you use doesn't have to be the same as a trademark but only similar in order to breach interlectual property rights.

2, You have publicly admitted trying to pass off trade from the company involved.

I suggest you find yourself a generic to play with

Number 2,

Yes i did, please tell me what my name is and where i live? you cant


Im suprised forums like this are not full of those legal types that can give hard info.

Can i ask your source for knowledge doodlebug, or have you been witness to similar situations?

MASSEY

If that is the case, then why can they not take the domai off the guy who currently owns it?

Its their trademark?

May show you how many .co.uks get taken away from people infringing on trademarks

Btw people on this forum are only trying to help you....its down to you at the end of the day, and if you want to say things like "please tell me what my name is and where i live? you cant" you may want to hide whois details on DomesticInstallation.co.uk
