What you guys think?

I think it is a 100% blatant TM violation.

lenovothinkpad.org seems to be doing OK?

 

[Bill Roy]

Sebastya, I hope you are either very wealthy or you just like giving money to others, for when you get sued for damages that is exactly what the result will be.

My advice is either put up a site discussing lenovo products and with absolutely no advertising or links to any other sites, or alternatively drop the registration immediately.

In other words, this domain is worthless?

 

[Bill Roy]

Sebastya unfortunately yes in my opinion, in fact it could be worse than worthless - it could cost you just having it and parking it.

The law with regards to Trade Marks is complex, and unfortunately not always clear cut, sometimes arguments can be made where a Trade Mark is a generic term but even here the outcome is not certain at all. My advice is to stay well clear of Trade Marks. Just my 2 cents as they say.

Thanks, that makes sense.
