Trademark Keyword Issue Far From Settled

Kentucky court to weigh in eventually

trademarks

Does anyone know how trademarking works? I would like to file a trademark application with the USPTO.

Infringement of Copyright

I think its copyright infringement because you are utilizing a copyrighted name to leverage sales for your company. However, it seems as though it would be very difficult to find a solution for this as it is extremely complex.

Infringement

I would certainly say that this falls under the category of copyright infringement since the business had to develop the unique name and services from scratch.

I would Say Its Copryright Infringement

I would say imho that this is copyright infringement. The problem with the Internet is that it is not governed by any set of real rules, and it is very easy for anyone to advertise using your copyright, get searches, then simply affiliate and sell your stuff, in the case where you have an affiliate program, without you knowing it.

amazing

I can only see more and more issues within our future for laws that involve the online realm.

Hmmm interesting

I think that as long as you are not copying a sites image or content, that putting a work in your title tag or on your site to reference another business is not all that bad.

let it go I say

I think putting ads out with the keywords, trademarked or not, creates a healthy competition and uptimately benefits the consumer by hopefully driving up the qulaity of competing products.

Google is doing a good enough job as is combating this problem alreay in my opinion.  We'll see what happens...

Cheers,

Justin
