I have an opportunity to purchase what I find to be an amazing domain. However, it is also the name of a HUGE company, with it's name seperated by a "-". Keyword rich domain place marks it with 317,000 searches each month. And it's the only available domain of it's kind. I'm probably going to buy it once/if paypal verifies my bank account. What can/can't I do with a domain like this? It screams buy me example of said domain with another companies name. time-warner.info edit-Domain is not coming up on any whois as if it's never been rgistered. this is good, correct?
Oh, don't use it commercially in such a way that it can be associated with an existing trademark that's heavily protected by a company with deep pockets. YMMV. Capish?
Well my hopes was just to find some content related to the name, basically make it an adsense site for example like this site is, and the ones that branch from it http://nativeamerican(.)org/ I think I'm def going to buy it once payal allows me
Like I said, YMMV. If the party in question has a trademark and you do what you're hoping to do, they might have issues with it.
And how do you know? C&D = Ceist & Desist Letter Honestly, you've got serious TM issues with this domain. What were you planning to do with this name?
Well I have been told I should SERP it(I tried looking for simple layouts but failed) or make it a review site for airlines in america what would you suggest?
Like hydroburn, you two clearly have no clue. Don't stupidly make stupid posts on things you know nothing about. Here's a suggestion, Browning: ask permission from the mark holder. If they do say no, forget it.
So just email american airlines, ask them how they feel about me owning that domain, and what I can do with it basically to keep them from being angry?
Better to tell them you want to use it vs. them finding out on their own. If anything, they may buy it from you if they don't want you to use it.
How would I go about contacting them? Correction, how would I go about contacting the right department
I just made a thread in the legal section asking about what to write/how to construct it. I also don't know which department to contact. And do I email them, write, phone.
