Hi Jake,
thanx for your comments but there are still some unclear points:
"lego" as a word is clearly registered by the company and therefor cannot be
used in domain or subdomain names.
But "lego" as part of a word should not be registered in every combination.
I think it is impossible for a company to get every word combination in every
language registered.
What about "legobricks", "legostones", "legostein" etc. ?
And what about the plural "legos" which is often used?
Regards Ronald
