I was in an IRC the other day and someone asked about my site, so I showed them. Then they posted this link and said that I'm violating trademark:
http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=d...su48sj.2.1
My site's name is Certifiedethicalhackers (or Certified Ethical Hackers) not Certifiedethicalhacker (or Certified Ethical Hacker). I don't use or claim the symbol "C|EH". I don't issue certifications, and I don't teach from copyrighted material. Heck I haven't even setup a training classroom yet.
The entire idea of the site is to teach people what hacking is all about and to teach them about certified ethical hacking. There's no copyright on talking about ethical hacking.
I don't see how anything I'm doing on my site is illegal in any way at all.
Can someone explain this to me? Or a way I can reword and rework what I'm doing so that it doesn't break the copyright? I haven't ever meddled in this stuff but I don't want any legal crap on my hands here.
