Apologies if this is a bit of a random post but wondering if any of the fine folk on NSC have experience with Trademark/Copyright law? I have tried doing a lot of online research on this but hard to get a definitive answer...
Basically I have just setup an online web business and one of the online stores sells loom bands (current craze with kids). The name I want to use for my main domain name/store name contain the words "Rainbow". My concern is that "Rainbow Loom" was trademarked back in 2010 and the product is related to what I'm selling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Loom
My question is can I use the word "Rainbow" in my domain name or does the guy who trademarked "Rainbow Looms" have general ownership of "Rainbow" within the loom band sales industry? Can I get sued for infringement?
Cheers for help!
