OfficeShoes.TLD and CoachBags.TLD

[jiba007]

Hey,


Few month ago, I saw that kind of doamins available for sale. It's product domains but are they legal issue free if they are developped for ecommerce?

Case 1 : OfficeShoes.TLD

Yes, there is a brand named "Office" and it's a shoes brand! :smilewinkgrin:
What do you think if it was develooped for an ecommerce to sell shoes for office/bureau?

Case 2 : CoachBags.TLD

Coach is a wellknown brand for womens bags, so I think it will be dangrous to build something using that domain name. Don't you think so?
But it's a bit like using the brand frigidaire, jeep (GP) or even freezer on a domain name...

Thanks for your opinions.

Unresolved case...

I'm no expert but it sounds like trademark infringement to me. You might try searching through TESS, but I would stay away from those domains personally. I'm sure they are trademarked in their respective industries. Again, I'm no lawyer, but that's my personal opinion.

OK thanks for the advice. Just saw that dbforum.com is now a brand since march 2011 ;-))
