Answer to Question #132362 in American Law for Anonyomus

Question

Can I use domain for my site thats similar to some other company (not exact same but similar)?

For example there is a company domain named "sportsitems.com", now can I use "sportsitemss.com" (with double "s"). Is it legal or not?

Answer 1

While it is possible to use a domain name similar to another company, it is not legally acceptable because some of the domains are protected trademarks. Their use could evoke legal conflicts.
