any legal issues with owning...

www.nintendorevolution.ca

Somone on another forum made some comments about needing a lawyer or something.

what are yout thoughts. Should we develop it, or what?

 

If nintendo wanted , they could take control of that name, and if its specific marketing they are after , they would, but your best option would be to sell it on to another company.

Sure sounds like a future trademarks problem...

 

so what if you used a hotel name like hilton and had a domain like
hollywood-hilton.com would this be considered trademarked?

 

I also doubt you would get any of the PPC companies like overture or google to accept ads to it.

 

Why would someone want it if it has legal issues?

 

We have contacted Nintindo legal.

 

And what do they say?

 

i'll let you know when and if they reply

 

I would have just sold it on for $1000 , a search engine company would love that domain.

 

Who would buy it? I don't understand why someone would pay to get into legal issues.

 

And why on earth would a search engine want a domain related to nintendo?

 

I once had gamecube.cc and they did nothing. But when I registered nintendohq.com, then I got the E-mail and USMail notice from them (I ignored them and let the domain expire.)!!! I've had another domain with the name 'nintendo' in it since 1996 and another one since 1999 and they never contacted me about them, though I know they have visited my sites, as they once contacted one of my message board users after posting a link to a ROM.
