Registered a domainname - will i be sued now?
Hi all!
I would like to discuss following:
recently registered a domainname that contains as a namepart th eword
"wifi".
Now im sitting here and thinking abount that i was maybe a mistake, to
register such domainname, because the word "Wi-Fi" is a registered
trademark of the "Wi-Fi Alliance"('
On the website of the "Wi-Fi Alliance" i found that "The Wi-Fi
Alliance is a global, non-profit industry association [...]".
What does it mean now to me?
Will they sue me ot let it, because i dont show off with their
Logo/Trademark and because they are "non-profit"?
(An affilation(15K/year for the membership) is beyond a question yet,
my company is 2 days old :-) )
Services which i want to offer on this website will of course direct
relations to the wireless technologies.
Now i found some other( from the count of propably very many)
websites, which also contains
the "wifi" in their domainame, e.g
Habe eineige(von bestimmt sehr sehr vielen) gefunden, die "wifi" in
domain-namen auch haben, sind
aber nicht in der "Wi-Fi Alliance" drin(habe in der Mitgliederliste
nachgeschaut), wie z.B.
They are also not members of the "Wi-Fi Alliance" but seem to exist
already several years...
My question now: should i worry?
Alex.
