a lake domain

[elbst23]

Hello,

I was considering a "lake domain for pay per click links.

An example could something like lakemichigan.com, or laketahoe.com or lakemichigantravel.com or laketahoepicture.com

Is there any legal concern/trademark concern here? Or can these lakes be considered generic.

Also, could I run into a problem if there a links on the sites that say..

visit lakemichigan or laketahoe hotels...etc..

thanks

No, these aren't trademarks and the names aren't owned by anyone. That would be like saying that no one can own the domain name NewYork.com.
