If I start a site called Amandatech...

With the intention of drawing a female audience, can I get sued ?

 

[GagHalfrunt]

You'd get sued and that excuse would get laughed out of court. A tech site for females? What are you smoking?

Hey, I know a chick who managed to plug in a toaster once.

Amandas review of the latest dell ultrabook... "it wont turn on"

I think Microsoft filed suit - for obvious reasons - but the court sided with Mike Ro. However, Mr. Ro being a reasonably smart guy did in fact settle out of court with Microsoft. I beleive.

I think making a tech website and forum would cause confusion in the marketplace, but also you can't have IP on names (e.g. Mike Ro). I would suspect that something like Amanda-Tech would be more resistant; some minor variation. Amanda as a name can't be intellectually protected and the word 'tech' can't be protected. Lawsuits still cost money, though.

Amanda is a total fucking slut/whore, I LOVE her.

Was she really trying to plug in a toaster or was it an attempt to set the clock on her VCR and a happy accident ensued?

 

[Blackjack200]

I'm pretty sure she was trying to figure out WTF she was doing with a VCR in 2014.

I'm guessing you've found pop-tarts and hot pockets in the VCR too?

 

[PlanetJosh]

Some of this sounds like neanderthaltech.com. And that one's taken btw.

 

[Fritzo]

It's already been done:

Joke thread aside, if AT sued you (and they probably wouldn't) I doubt they'd win in court.

Yep. The pop-tarts were pretty good, but the Hot Pockets were undercooked.

Only if you're name's not really Amanda.

Looks like it never made it past a C&D letter.
