    TM issue...

    Ok so I bought a bunch of lady gaga related domains, Im sure you guys saw my post... I deleted all of them, but I have a quic k question I would like some opinions on.

    I searched TESS and found the 3 active tm's lady gaga has, but she has none for just "gaga"

    I have a few domains with "gaga" in them, you think its ok to keep those?

    Man, being new to domaining, the learning curve is getting a bit pricey with these deletes... cheaper than a lawsuit I guess....

    TMs are not only based on words but also usage. Gaga could be used for a baby related site (gagatoys, gagagifts etc, "gaga" is often used to express baby talk) but once you tread into music (or niches related to Lady Gaga) then you will be infringing.

    Don't just look for words in the TM, also look for their usage.
