Domainers don’t differ much from other consumers, and as such some get inspiration from existing products, services and corporate names.
Alas, this approach is the surest path to generating infringing domain registrations.
Trademark violations in domain registrations are common, and while some are unintentional due to the broad use of some words, others are downright intentional.
We’re starting a new column covering examples of the types of domains you should not register.
Today’s example, is the domain CanonUSA.camera which we found listed on Flippa.
There is no question about the intentions of its registrant, as it uses both the Canon trademark, and the dot .Camera TLD suffix, to create a direct link to the Canon camera products.
Domain violation rank: 10/10
Don’t do it!
