    I purchased a .asia domain yesterday - I was a bit naughty as i tried to sell the domain on their auction site :) ( and maybe a bit stupid ).

    the company obviously pulled the domain from the auction straight away.

    The have TM in the U.S. - i am not u.s. and the CED is Korea, where do i stand?

    thanks

    If you're in Korea and use a US-trademarked name url, and they DONT have an international trademark on that name, there's little they can do.

    Off-topic question, how much does it cost to register an .ASIA domain?

    I've checked the trademark database and actually they have trademark on that name , but it'll be hard for them to get it from you , i don't think that they will do it
