Can I use the term "fanpage" in a url?

6 replies
Hi I had a really good idea for a domain. Im sure I can't use the word facebook in my domain, but should i be able to use "fanpage" or should I just use the word page? How would I look up something like this?
#fanpage #term #url

    Facebook does not have a patent for "fanpage" and "workpage". You can use them in your domain.

  • Fanpage is not a trade marked term so you are ok to use it.

    yes - you can. there is no patent for this. I have seen few other websites using fanpage in their website name.
