I want to register a domain &brand name&-history.com

This brand is a global carmaker. I just want to make a description on the site.

Will I have problems later because of the brand name in the domain or do I have the right to do so?

It's important to understand that registering a domain name containing a global carmaker's brand name, such as "&brand name&-history.com," can potentially infringe on their trademark rights. It's crucial to conduct a comprehensive search to determine whether the brand name is already registered as a trademark. If it is, using it in a domain name without proper authorization could lead to legal consequences, including being forced to relinquish the domain and potential liability for damages.

Additionally, it's essential to consider the potential impact on your relationship with the carmaker. Unauthorized use of their brand name in a domain may harm their reputation and create hostility between your business and the carmaker. This could result in legal action to protect their trademark and brand image.

Furthermore, if the carmaker has a history of actively enforcing their trademark rights, using their brand name in a domain without proper authorization could lead to legal action, including demands to cease use of the domain and potential claims for damages.

I strongly recommend seeking guidance from a qualified trademark attorney who can provide a thorough analysis of the potential risks associated with using the carmaker's brand name in your domain. By understanding the legal implications and taking appropriate measures to obtain any necessary licenses or permissions, you can mitigate the risk of facing problems in the future and ensure compliance with trademark laws.

It is highly improbable that there would be any sanctions imposed on the domain. If everything were to be banned in such a manner, millions of websites promoting the carmaker would vanish. I would unquestionably proceed with the creation without any fear.

You need to be prepared for the possibility of having to claim the domain in any case.

It is unlikely that the brand will be concerned about your website. However, if there are sales or advertising involved, and if all the stars align in such a way, there could potentially be issues.
