LEGAL ISSUE - Anchor links and Trademark infringement ? ? ? ?
I am linking to a name of of produc that is actually pretty common and NOT registered as a trademark
Not on a federal, state or local level. The only thing they have to rely on is common law.
So basically, I want to rank for something pretty common, like SEO BACKLINKER -(not the actual name mind you, just an example of how common the word is).
Someone that owns a product by the exact name I am trying to rank for (though my anchor linking efforts) has threatened to sue me because the link leads to my domain, not theirs.
Now, the phrase is decently common & not registered as a trademark but technically is not my property either. Just a common name.
What legal grounds do they have to stand on for something like this?
Hell, what if I wanted to rank for someont blatent, like MAZDA, and I used MAZDA anchor links and drove traffic to my site which was related, but not selling mazdas?
Is there any law preventing people for anchor linking to names that are not theirs?
