Would the same phrase "Bet with e-gold" used on the casinohome page be infringing? What exactly is the difference?
One's a domain name, and the other's an invitation. Go try registering cocacolaforum.com and then on another site do a forum about the wonders of drinking a lot of CocaCola if you want to see the difference
(Aside --- the internet is a place where people who know staggeringly utterly nothing about topics get to go on and on about them.)
Just incidentally FWIW, if you simply MENTION Coca Cola (or e-gold) on a web site, or perhaps in a brochure, advertisement or poster --
YES !!
you are in fact or can be infringing on their trademarks seriously and in many situations you have to carefully point out that it is a registered trademark that you are just mentioning in passing !!!!!!!!
EVERYONE who uses the company name "e-gold" anywhere on a market makers page or whatever, you should liberally pepper it with "TM" symbols...at least the first time you do so.
(You can see this everywhere about you -- look.)
indeed similarly if e-gold on their site says something like "there are many fine e-gold market makers, such as Icegold and Cambist" .. then e-gold should shove some TM symbols and legal language in there.
For example, I just saw an ad for Chevrolet trucks and it said something like "The biggest invention in comfort and safety since BubbleWrap"
yes, absolutely, they have a little "tm" or whatever above the BubbleWrap and down the bottom in fine print it says something like "We are Chevrolet and we use BubbleWrap's famous trademark only with permission and we explicitly do not take away any of their rights in doing so and we remind you tyhat BubbleWrap very much remains a trademark of the Sarin3M corporation ..." sort of thing.
Now - in fact - if bubble wrap WANTED to, they could STOP Chevy from doing this. (that would be why it's called "property") Say chevy went further with the gag and started a web site called "bubblewrapcars," then they could stop them doing that (and probably would). I mean "bubble wrap" is their property.
Also, as an example, the last time I was filming a Levis commercial, it happened to have some coke logos in it (it was set in the 50s or whatever and there was an old red coke machine at the gas station the hero in the Levis stopped at) .. you have to be extremelyl careful about this sort of thing, for instance Levis checked it out first with Coke to see if they minded, and however small, it was careful that the coke logo seen incidentally included a "tm" thingy above it.
