I have a good sounding LLLL.com (CVCV) domain name e.g. CVCV.com which was registered in Dec, 1995.
It's a good sounding CVCV, easy to remember and highly brandable. I have developed it into an online flash game site and it works really well so far.
However, I just noticed the CVCV has been registered as a Trademark.
Word Mark: CVCV
Translations: "CVCV" is the pronunciation of the name of a famous hero character of a legend.
Goods and Services
Trademark Filing Date: Nov, 1995
Published for Opposition: Jan, 1997
Registration Date: Nov, 1997
Goods and Services:
I have 2 questions here:
1. Considering the registration date and Goods and Services descriptions, can I run the domain for online flash game site?
2. A serious issue. The CVCV is the pronunciation of a famous character of a legend hero, and this character has been on Movies and lot's of Video Games, there are also many flash games about this character. Also, the adsense sometimes shows game advertisements relate to this character. Should I remove all flash games regarding this character? Or should I put disclaimer statement on my website? Then as for the adsense ads, it's unavoidable.
Your opinions are needed, thanks in advance.
