This is going to be a commercial product, something like "Orange.net" as an example, and I'm thinking about acquiring the corresponding domain name. It's going to be a web-based application, both hosted and for intranet use.
My main concern is a possible clash with Microsoft's .NET and their family of products that end with ".NET". How safe is it to have a name/trademark that ends with, say, lowercase ".net"?
Ours is a UNIX-based product and has nothing to do with Windows/.NET technologies anyway. The first part of the name won't clash with any other trademark in the software industry.
Thank you for your answers.
