Is Mixing a trademark name with another word or characters is illegal ?
example: twitter+or = twitteror // digg+nol=diggnol
and if not illegal, is doing the same font type will be illegal ?
also, this mixed logo will not be a registred or unregistred trademark, so it’s just will be used as unofficial logo and a domain name.
also, we will declare that the original logo which is twitter or digg are trademarks of twitter inc. and digg inc. and we are not affiliated with them.
Note: our product is just an online service, and not a good.
Famous marks are granted a special kind of protection under trademark law. The basic gist is that if a company is well known enough and if another party attempts to use the same or similar name, regardless of industry, that is going to confuse the well known company’s customers.
The main justification for this is if “the owner of a famous mark shall be entitled, subject to the principles of equity and upon such terms as the court deems reasonable, to an injunction against another person’s commercial use in commerce of a mark or trade name, if such use begins after the mark has become famous and causes dilution of the distinctive quality of the mark.”
