Country: | Trademarks - Similar Web-Site Name Hello all. I am interested in creating a Forum Web-Site, which provides similar services as well, using a popular Web-Sites DomainName + Forum, i.e., domainname-forum.com. Is this legal or not. I will state clearly that the site is in no way affiliated with that site. The site's name is different than it's corporation name as well. |

however if it is a famous trademark, then you will need permission.. FanBased Sites and Parody Sites are in most cases ok.. I have not heard of any cases that used the term forum.. but you should note that simply adding the word forum does not infringe any less on a trademark. Again if its a famous trademark, you will be under more pressure to ensure that the content and members do not Dilute the registered trademark.
