Hi, I see two possible ways to consider e-gold-casino The first interpretation is that it is the bringing together of 'e-gold' and 'casino' In that case it is clear that the e-gold trade mark is being used. The second interpretation is to see it as 'gold-casino' with the prefix 'e-' added to it. 'Gold' is a plain English word and the word 'gold-casino' can simply mean a casino where gold is used to place bets. You could also have 'diamond-casino' ... 'xxxx-casino' Putting the prefix 'e-' in front of it only signifies that it is 'electronic' It will depend whether the court accepts 'gold-casino' as a valid word, inorder to avoid violation of e-gold's trade mark. It might be sufficient to point out that there are several 'gold-casinos' in existence already.
