Segway Trademark?

[segwaychatadmin]

Dawn,

Thanks for your inquiry. I cannot comment or provide advice regarding your question. If you are looking for examples of *other* sites that contain a word from a trademark and have successfully remained in operation despite legal battles to cease and desist (initiated by the trademark holders) please visit:

MicrosoftSucks.com
aolSucks.com
GeorgeBushSucks.com

There were some serious efforts to kill those domains. Didn't work.

Again, I can't comment on what type of permission we have to use this domain. Thanks for your understanding.

I am not trying to be argumentative and am satisfied that you have answered my question best as you can. However, for your own edification, I believe the "sucks" sites are protected under free speech and are not considered to be a confusing use of a trademark because they are clearly NOT of the trademark holder. I suppose with the appropriate disclaimer, and as long as you aren't making money at this, the same may be said for this site, though the area is bit more grey. Best of luck.

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing. Thanks for the advice

Looking forward to seeing you in the Segway Forum!
