Singer Domain Name

[Karim Nasser]

A domain name is exactly the same as a singer's entertainment name, it is one word domain and is currently for sale, however the word can also become a two word generic domain and totally unrelated to the singer's name, here's an example:

Let's say for EXAMPLE: The singer's name is "Pinkera", and my website will be about the Pink Era, would I be infringing on the singer if I register pinkera.com and build a website about the Pink Era?

Thanks,

No. Fair use. DJW is a trademark/service mark of "DJW" in cursive initials, but it's for another D.J.W. who runs a spa. I don't run a spa. My initials are in cursive too, but not to be confused with his.

To ask any legal questions without supplying all of the information is honestly fruitless. Anways ... so your saying it's a one word domain that can be broken down into 2 generic words...and it's a .com? Depending on what your definition of a generic word is (because everyone seems to have a different opinion), AND it's a celebrity so it has searches, and presumably CPC (all conveniently bundled into the artist's merchandise, likely protected)... the cost likely outweighs the profit. Celebrities spend the time + money to brand themselves, it's best to just stay away from it.
