Will you register domains related to Netbook or nettop?

[james2002]

Netbook is already lauched and it is being a success so far.

Here is Netbooks' news.

Nettop will come very soon.


I have registered around 16 domains related to them.

How about you?

Do you see them as a opportunity?

Is that somebody operating some activity under the name "NetBook"?
There could be a TM issue.

It is not a TM.

Netbook is a term for smaller laptop and it is for people who like smaller version or cheaper ones.

It is ideal for people travelling.

Yes, "netbook" is used generically, but there are also 7 records listed with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, so proceed with care.

No. It is like laptop or notebook and it is generic and no TM issue.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbook

There it is mentioned about history. In 1999, was introduced by Psion as a GENERIC term and reintroduced by Intel in 2008.

I prefer challenging Wikipedia than the USPTO ...
