Re: ONCE IN A LIFETIME DOMIAN [COINBASE.IO]

WRONG. Coinbase can take this domain away from you and pay you $0.00

This happened to a friend of mine who own a "Hotmail" domain and Microsoft got it within a few weeks and he walked away with $0.

Not true. This is not how it works. look up "Trump.org". This guy got sued by Trump Inc for trademark infringement, and won (Trump inc didn't pushed the lawsuite tho), this means you can use domains of other companies if you do not intend to use it for malware, or confuse customers/try to make profit from it, from what i've read.

But, i am not sure if domains such as gmaio.com are allowed. Anyone knows?

Gmail could be taken only if the website is related to gmail in any way like a phishing site or a clone. If its just a normal random site it would be fine because trademarks don't cover mis spellings unless its meant to distract or confuse customers

Yep it's a case by case basis. Obviously if you're trying to steal customers it's copyright infringement. Coinbase is an actual blockchain term so if you use it for anything to do with bitcoins that isn't an exchange you aren't infringing on any copyright.

So this is similar to blockchain.info wallet, blockchain is a bitcoin term so people pcould use blockchain in other domains and not make a wallet and be fine

So a bitcoin related chat room is okay
