many famous western companies have not registered their name with the suffix of (.ir) which is for Iran I would like to know can I , as an Indivisual register and sell them? forexample paypal.ir microsoft.ir intel.ir ....
I recommend you not to register these domains..As these companies can easily get them back through a lawsuit! -Saad
Hi You guys are right, if you register any of the above domains the companies can throw a lawsuit against you for copyright infringment. Read this article about a canadian teenager who was forced give up his website.
Vmwh is referring to Mike Rowe, he had a site called MikeRoweSoft.com and Microsoft had problems with it, even when it wasn't direct infringement, MS decided to go after it and got the domain after giving some compensation to Mike Rowe. So yeah don't do it. IT
Register them? What's to stop you? Be able to keep them? Then you'd better ask yourself why bother registering domain names that possibly infringe famous trademarks, especially if each of their mark holders passionately protect and enforce their rights.
as I read the rules of .ir domain registeration there is nothing about not registering a famouse brand, I know it can bother them, but maybe it cause them to buy it
Look better stay away from them.. They have a better Advocate backup.. So u might found yourself in trouble.. And might lose much than gaining the things.. They will email u lovely letters if u do register.
I dont think you can register those domains.. There is such thing to protect your name. You should try it out.
You can register it . i had godaddy.ir and Godaddy can't get domain from NIC.ir he buy it from me . Copyright laws is weak in iran . if you want register contact me . i can help you .
It dosent matter whether laws ar weak or not...Micrsoft can easily contact ICCANN and they will happily give domain to MSOFT -Saad
saadahmed007 Microsoft.ir is registered By : Jabari,Muhammad since :27 Dec 2003 . now is owner of this domain is : jabari,Muhammad . and microsoft can't get it . and Paypal.ir is registered by : tarkhorani,hamid since : 5 march 2004 and Paypal can't get it . intel.ir is registered by : jafari,shahab since : 22 Dec 2003 and Intel Corporation can't get it . i registered godaddy.ir registred by : me since 10 october 2006 and Godaddy just can Buy it . copyright laws is weak in Iran (IR) and you can do anything . koahost : i sold it 500 $ .
but i think ICANN have the control over all domains (Any extensions), Correct me if i am wrong ? Saad
I could not find any information about .ir being a sponsored tld. nic.ir. However, I searched for about 5 minutes and may be wrong.
thank you adsblog, where did you sell your domain, or intended to sell I can say most famous brands are registered as I looked for e-gold, intel, amd, .... any I registed some names that are not related to companies such as hotsms.ir hotchat.ir ,... one question can I sell my .ir domains to the foreigners? (for example in sedo?) by the way I have some .com domains and want to sell them, what can I do 1- domainbiznet.com it could be a good name for domain sell and buy, biznet points to business and also is the combination of biz and net two famous domain suffix
go for it, register the domains. worst thing that can happen is you'll have to turn the domains over to those companies. P.S.: something tells me the possibility of you getting sued by a US company in Iran is not too high
