I need your advice on this one.
Are 3 letters such as CBS, NBC, NFL, DOS, etc., trademarks?.
And if so, does adding a single word to the 3 letters make it legal?.
Your thoughts.
1. Yes.
2. Clearly it depends. If the word you add is related to the business of the trademark owner (i.e. CBSnews.com, NFLfootball.com...) then it seems like clear infringement to me.
Use common sense people....
If you put a parking page up which serves up ups which compete with the trademark owner, however, you could lose more than the domain.

So would something like NFLtrades.com be an infringement? Trades are a part of sport, but it's not really the main business.
