Ask HN:Is it legal to use "fb" in domain name of a site using FB API?
I am developing a site that will use Facebook Graph API(mainly for login and to get user's friends). The site is social in nature and will extend facebook's functionality.
Is it legal to use "fb" in domain name in such case? e.g., www.fbmeetup.com?
- benologist 16y agoThey almost certainly have FB trademarked, there's no way they'll allow you to extend their service while using part of their name.
- michael_dorfman 16y agoI certainly wouldn't. And if I really wanted to, I'd talk to a lawyer first. Facebook has a army of lawyers at their disposal, and had been pretty aggressive in the past about protecting their trademarks.
