Hi,

I registered "olympische-spiele.info" yesterday, which is the German translation for "olymic-games". Yet, I have not thought of what to do with it exactly.
Could I get problems with this one?
I checked the .de and .org, the first is a parking site, the second used for an internet company. They obviouls have no probs, but I thought I ask for your opinion.

I think you would have problems.

IMO, the name is good for german tourists, but not good enough to risk.

I would ask your registrar to hit the delete button.

But I am curios to see what the lawyers saw..

In the US, the term "Olympic" has its own law reserving use of the term for the US Olympic Committee (and with certain exceptions for geographic references in the region of Olympia, Washington). I do not know whether there is a similar law in Germany.
