Well...

 

I'm sure AFC-Chat is not a trademark brand name, despite what they like to think.

 

This website features chat about AFC hence afc-chat.com or whatever is a totally valid URL as is donstalk.co.uk and does not mislead in any way.

 

What's LS going to do? Call the police? "Someone's is copying my URL! Hello?"

 

Gay.

 

Totally agree, LS is in my own experience a sound guy to be honest  :thumbsup: However on this one the site points to donstalk which is about chatting about AFC. I fail to see any breach of any law on this one, its not like it leads to a porn site or something, its leads to exactly what it says it will.

Correct. Under intellectual property legislation its referred to as being 'too descriptive'. If you are chatting about AFC then you cannot protect the term as it describes exactly what you do. It would be like being a bike shop in Edinburgh who are run as a co-operative trying to protect the name Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative, just can't be done. Not that I have any personal experience of such matters.....
