- jobu 14y agoSeriously? Maybe I'm a bit naive, but I never would have searched for pinweel if I was planning to launch as pinwheel (spelled correctly), and I had the domain name.
- grabeh 14y agoA search for 'Pinwheel' returns 'Pinweel' - so it appears to cover homophones not just identical spellings. I would always suggest doing a quick search on at least the trade mark registry in the territory where you are based when you are considering a new name. Only takes a very short while... http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp
