I'm creating a blog to share information and need to choose a domain name.
The advice that I received was to avoid using names that have been trademarked.
The name I want to use is not currently trademarked, but I'm wondering if I should claim the trademark simply to avoid being sued in the future?
I'm not 100% certain if my information sharing blog will morph into a business at some stage or not.
But I understand that registering a trademark "requires information such as the categories of goods and services for which the mark will be used, date of the mark’s first use in commerce".
So, I am uncertain how to proceed and would appreciate some advice.
