- zyxley 11y agoSurely there could be something business-related that would bring in more money than just ads, though? The most financially beneficial thing that comes to mind for me would be a front-page category of car electronics and other vehicle widgets for online ordering - rear-view camera kits, smartphone car finders, USB cigarette adapters, etc.
- icebraining 11y agoWhat makes you think he is able and willing to run a vehicle widgets shop? And if you're talking about just putting affiliate links or similar, those are just ads as well.
- rgbrenner 11y agotrademarks are granted per industry.. so although Nissan Computers doesn't infringe and gets to keep the name... if he changes his site to a car electronics site (as you suggest), that may allow Nissan Auto to take him back to court and take the name. After all, that would be Nissan Computer Corp changing industries to benefit from Nissan Auto's trademark... and that change would have definitely occurred after Nissan Auto was in the market (meaning he has no right to "Nissan" in the auto industry).
