Great video. I’m sure that most of us don’t take these things into account when searching for a domain name as it doesn’t seem necessary but it is definitely something to look out for initially rather than have to deal with the issue later. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the interesting video – a great intro to how trademarking issues are something we need to bear in mind when choosing a domain.

Hi,
I trademarked the name of my company nationally and own it – Vpicutures. Someone esle owns the domain name and is not using it. (Vpictures.com) Can they charge me to use my own trademarked name?

Question: Are trademark use clearances from the owners of the trademarks required for use in this video? ie: Starbucks, Nike etc. or are they fair use as examples of noteworthy brands?

If I have a domain name that is a registered product, but I am selling this exact product on the site that the trademark has, but am not affiliated with the manufacturer, what is the law on infringement?

A very nicely done “Intro” to domain name and trademark law, and that compliment is from a domain name lawyer. The danger with intros, is that to keep them simple, they are often inaccurate, but this video avoids that pitfall and provides a good “nut shell”. Of course, the intersection of domain name and trademark law gets most interesting in the “advanced” course, for example, what happens with descriptive domain names, or non-commercial use? Thanks.
