Can I Use A Registered Trademark In My Company’s Domain Name? The Registered Trademark Is Not In The Co.s Name

July 17th, 2009 at 10:26am Under trademark law

I want to use the word FICO in my company’s domain name (example – www.ficosRcool.com) but it is a registered trademark. I know that I cannot use the trademark in my company’s name but am I breaking trademark law by using the word FICO in my domain?
Thanks guys!

Why Can Pepsi Use The Coca-cola Registered Trademark In Their Commercials?

July 13th, 2009 at 04:26am Under trademark law

Someone told me it’s because Pepsi owns Coke. True? If not then how can they get around the trademark laws when you see a coke truck, or hat, or can in the Pepsi commercials?

Does Using Of Shortened (minus 2 Last Letters) Version Of Registered Trademark Infringe The Copyright Law?

July 12th, 2009 at 04:26am Under trademark law

Trademarks and copyrights are two different things.
Potentially your use of a registered trademark (albeit with 2 letters missing) could be classed as a trademark violation.
It would depend on a number of things though such as using the same design, if the word is obviously recognisable as the original trademark etc etc.
If it is done in a way in which potential customers would be “confused” etc.
