Domain Names With Famous Brand Names In it

In progress for face, though unsure about book. Then again, even Facebook
themselves said they're not out to establish like an absolute, exclusive claim
over the word/s for anything other than their trademarks.

Newbies,

Although it's easier to ask this question, in the future it helps to just use that
search function since this has been beaten to death like a gazillion times. You
will end up reading answers to your question anyway, so you might as well go
over the ones previously asked.

Although IANAL either, let me ask something for newbies especially: when you
consider registering a domain name bearing a famous brand, do you honestly
think people are going to look for you online...

...or the brand owner itself? I mean, that's the point of the brand, isn't it?

Considering that intellectual property like trademarks essentially give its owner
an "absolute" claim over the word for certain uses or classes, do you honestly
think you can use that, especially for financial gain, without their permission?
While you may think you're promoting or giving them more business, who are
those internet users or consumers, again, looking for in the first place?

Admittedly, it gets irritating when some people post something that, although
with maybe a genuine desire to help, just isn't true or doesn't fit how it works
in the real world. What's also sad, as someone mentioned, that newbies might
believe it and then find it more difficult to glean the truth from fiction.

Thus, as the also oft-mentioned "advice" goes, best to seek advice from one
who's licensed to practice law and has real-world experience on the matter.
Of course, many if not all lawyers give feedback rather than what some folks
might consider qualified legal advice in an online forum, the latter which most
lawyers, solicitors, etc. are wont to provide.

Meharis,

Though other lawyers will agree with Alexa that it's definitely possible to use
a trademark in a domain under certain, exceptional scenarios, yours gave you
an understandably and arguably "simpler" way to understand it. But hey, as
long as it makes life safer and easier, yes?
