You can use it in subdomains. . . such as wordpress. bangladeshiwp .com but not in the domain. . . such as www. bangladeshiwordpress .com. * If you have wpbangladeshi. com and then on the front page have a logo that says“ Bangladeshi WordPress” then you are fine. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/going-to-lunch-wordpressbdcom-wordpressbdorg/#post-1665412) * Here’s some additional info in more legal-ish terms: * [http://wordpressfoundation.org/trademark-policy/](http://wordpressfoundation.org/trademark-policy/) * [Mountain of Hope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mountain-of-hope/) * (@mountain-of-hope) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/going-to-lunch-wordpressbdcom-wordpressbdorg/#post-1665417) * The link James posted was the best clarifying of all. . . it put to shame my post and Rev.

Registering domain names isn’t a huge expense. Just drop them and register new ones that fit with the copyright laws and expectations. * Good luck! * Thread Starter [Adnan628](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adnan628/) * (@adnan628) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/going-to-lunch-wordpressbdcom-wordpressbdorg/#post-1665480) * I Send a mail to the WordPress Authority.Still i didn’t get any response.

You would then be able to use the domains that contain ‘WordPress’ in them (because they will direct to your site), and not Legaly be breaking any copyright issues because your primary domain would display ‘wpSOMETHING.com’ in the address bar. * Just an Idea…. * Thread Starter [Adnan628](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adnan628/) * (@adnan628) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/going-to-lunch-wordpressbdcom-wordpressbdorg/#post-1665519) * **Thank’s krisjay:-)** * Thread Starter [Adnan628](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adnan628/) * (@adnan628) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/going-to-lunch-wordpressbdcom-wordpressbdorg/#post-1665522) * But what about the wordpressplanet.com & Thewordpresstheme.com?????They also violating the copyright.
