Legal Question in Intellectual Property in New York

Re: Domain names

Some of the other attorneys on this list might have a more knowledgeable answer, but I am not aware of any restriction on domain names that have "www" as part of the second level domain name. Seems to me the bigger problem will be a practical one: people might be confused in what the actual address is. However, if you are using the "www" as a means around infringing or squatting on an existing domain name, in my opinion, that tactic puts you at legal risk.

Thank you for your posting. Please email me directly at [email protected] if there are additional facts I should be aware of or if you wish to visit with me about your domain names.

Best regards,

Todd D. Epp, Esq.
