Hi,

I’m looking into creating a blog website, and I have purchased the domain “dedsec.org”. Ubisoft holds the rights to the name dedsec so I was wondering if I should sell it or not? I bought the domain for $20. I plan to just post about Libreboot and other hacking stuff on it. Maybe, if its legal, can I possibly use the domain for my computer store?

Edit: switched EA to Ubisoft

    Unless someone has registered the trademark for those specific purposes you’re clear. A trademarks is only valid within a specific field of purpose. Trademarks are there to avoid consumers mistaking one brand for another.

    There are a lot of entertaining articles on Techdirt about companies not understanding trademark law.
