Can I use copyright names in my domain name?
|
I would like to incorporate the word "botox" in a domain name, but see that the word appears to be copyrighted(?) Would there be a problem with using "botox" as part of my domain name?
All Answers To QuestionsAnswer 1
I don't think so! not without them getting their royalty i think that's the purpose or copyrighting somenthing. just try another name or move it around! Answer 2
"Yes", there would be a problem.
Note - the word "botox" would not be "copyrighted", but is a "trademark", and your use could be challenged by the owner of the "trademark".
Botox® is a registered trademark of Allergan. Answer 3
Yes. They can sue you or shut you down. Answer 4
Yep, you can use copyrighted names as your domain. Copyright law does not protect domain names. Answer 5
Names are NOT subject to copyright protection. See the Copyright Office circular below.
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ34.html
Names, however, may be subject to trademark protection. A trademark owner can initiate a UDRP proceeding against you if you have a confusingly similar domain name. << GO BACK to questions
