Can I display ads on a site whose domain name includes a trademark?
- by architect
I own a domain containing a trademarked word.
I don't want to get into trouble with the trademark owner so my plan is to use the domain to display information (wiki-style) about the service the trademark owner provides.
My question is whether I can display ads on this website to make money.
For example, let's say I own Google.org (Google being a trademark).
On this domain I would write about the real Google (history, business etc.)
Can I get into trouble for having ads on this page including ones that promote other search engines (Yahoo, Bing, etc.).
