Legal issues with NokiaSonyEricsson.com

[arthurcsl]

Hi,

I wonder if there's any legal problem if I operate business with a domain name called NokiaSonyEricsson.com

Since Nokia and Sony Ericsson are names of existing companies, and I'm planning to be a reseller of mobile phones, would Nokia or Sony Ericsson sue me for doing business with that name?

I was not aware of it when I started it, but then several friends of mine reminded me that there could be such a problem.

Thanks!

Oh, I knew that, sorry, please use the law of Washington.

I live in Vancouver, Canada, but my office is in Seattle. Just that I posted the message at home.
