3rd Domain Tip: Do not use established trademarks
There are two really good reasons for this. First of all, it’s not the nicest thing to do. Imagine if your multi-million brand name was ripped off too. There are countless stories of people who have thought ahead and bought "the-name-of-an-upcoming-celebrity.com" and sold it on for enough money to retire on. Secondly, remember that those companies have spent lots of time, money and thought creating their brand, and what goes around comes around. Companies are no longer opening their chequebooks to get their names back. They are calling in the lawyers.
It's worth checking whether your proposed domain name is an existing trademark in your jurisdiction, or another country you may soon expand into.
