If youre looking for the Walmart website, your instinct would be to simply go to Walmart.com, or maybe Walmart.net, or even Walmart.org all of which go to the same place. There is currently no reason whatsoever to type the URL Walmart.horse into your web browser, but if you go there, you get pretty much exactly what youd expect a picture of a horse and a Walmart store.
Walmart is not amused at the use of its name on this site and has sent a cease-and-desist notice to its creator, Jeph Jacques, creator of the Questionable Content comic.

(2,101 posts)by chance bobbie jo, did you ever see a movie where a character used that line? the one i'm remembering is from a few years ago, as a college student and son of a prominent lawyer, the main character is cleared in the od death of a girl. time passes, the student taking the blame returns ...
do you know the name of the movie i'm thinking of?
Bobbie Jo
(14,341 posts)Sorry, I can't help with that one.
If you come up with it let me know, because now you've got me wondering.

(2,101 posts)I liked the movie, and for the last few weeks this has been bugging me! It is almost to the point where I will put the effort into finding out, soon enough we will both know.

I doubt you can register a trademark for a URL. And even if you could: Walmart has registered walmart.com but they have NOT registered walmart.horse. If you don't register a trademark for something related to your brand, then it's entirely your fault.
Purely by gut-feeling, Walmart has odds of about 30% for winning this.
