How do you find the domain of a squatter?
The only way you can really get around a domain squatter is to not buy the domain that they are in possession of. Getting a new domain extension will save you a lot of time and money, but you won’t be getting the domain that you want and it probably won’t be as prominent as the one the domain squatter has.
When to avoid trademark infringement when choosing a domain name?
Applying these principles to your domain name selection, you are at risk of losing your chosen domain name if the owner of an existing trademark convinces a judge or arbitrator that your use of the domain name makes it likely that customers would be confused as to the source or quality of the products.
What happens when you choose a domain name?
If you choose a domain name that conflicts with any one of the millions of commercial names that already exist, you risk losing it. And if you’ve put money and sweat into marketing your website and then are forced to give the domain name up, your Web-based business is likely to suffer a damaging, if not fatal, blow.
Is it safe to use a domain name?
If the answers to all these questions are no, you can feel reasonably free to go ahead and use your domain name without fear of creating a legal conflict. If you answer yes to any of them, there will be some risk of a legal challenge down the road. If you aren’t sure, take an informal poll of friends.
Where can I find a list of trademarks?
The first place to go for possible conflicts is the trademark database of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office at www.uspto.gov. Searching this database gives you all registered trademarks and all trademarks for which registration is pending.
