Hi,

Before few days I bought this domain "[example]" .com and .net. Today, my friend told me that I may get in trouble with google because it is consider as trademark. I searched the internet and I found link talking about trademark
[google.com...]

I did not find any thing about my problem.

Broadly, Google does not care about domain-trademarks but might react if a trademark holder takes legal action.

If a problem arises, you can simply switch off/disable the domain name or sell it to the trademark holder.

sell it to the trademark holder.

I am not a lawyer but I STRONGLY suggest you seek legal advice first if you're thinking of doing this!
