Depends on how you use the domain and whether it can be construed as a tm dilution.
If you are new to domains and looking to buy, sell and learn about domains then you have come to the right place. DNForum is the largest domain name community on the internet and continues to grow every day. There are over 105,000 domainers on DNForum doing everything from buying domains, selling domains, learning about domains and discussing domains. Take a minute and Register.
Register Today on DNForum IT'S FREE!There is a popular software program that is trademarked. Their TM name is a made-up word (just for an example: Kudzu). I changed one letter, the z to an s so my name in this example is Kudsu.com.
Am I in TM violation?

There is no way that anyone could answer your question without knowing all of the facts. What is the trademark in question? What is your domain name? How is the trademark used? Is it famous? What do you plan to do with your domain name?
You should not answer those questions in a public forum.
There are MANY misconceptions about trademark law. If you are concerned, you should get a clearance from a trademark attorney.

Just wanted to agree with Brett here. While I think people try to be helpful on these boards, it is very difficult, if not impossible to get any serious and complete answer without a lot more details that really shouldn't be posted in a public forum. Plus, any advice received here really should not be relied upon because posters don't have what they need to fully understand the matter.
Definitely get in touch with a domain/trademark attorney. There are many on this board, or find someone locally, or whatever you prefer.
