Re: CakePhp related domain

Yes, this domain is mine. I am a CakePHP developer and wanted to blog
about my experience, but I have not been able to find time to do so.

I re-researched and feel fair, nominative use is valid in this case.

Nominative fair use is established when:
- The product cannot be readily identified without using the
trademark;
- Only so much of the trademark is used as is necessary for the
identification; and
- No sponsorship or endorsement of the trademark owner is suggested
by the use.

( http://www.duetsblog.com/2010/08/articles/domain-names/nominative-fair-use-of-trademarks-in-domain-names/
)

More info is also available from the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
https://www.eff.org/issues/bloggers/legal/liability/IP#trademark and
other websites.
