Domain name of a Trademark

hai guys,

ill explain my question using the xyz name

i registred the xyz.com domain where xyz is a registred trademark in my country.
so if xyz company file a case to release the domain name, will i should pay panelty and give them the domain name?

remember it is a .com domain.

pls advise.

 

Just give it to them. You bought it as a gift, for them, right?

 

Now if they decide to buy it, have your price tag set - set it high.

 

Maybe, depending on your country's laws.

 

if you don't do anything with it (i.e., the domain simply points to a blank white page instead of a parked page), I dont think there's much they can do, if anything at all, to force you to hand it over... might be worthwhile to hold on to it at least.

 

thanks friends, so it seems no worry and demanding a higher ransom is the best solution it seems

nono, i and that company have no any connection.

 

That really might be the worst solution, especially if you registered the domain
after the trademark existed.

 

just give it to them as a gift, they may even pay you, hopefully

 

if you use it for something unrelated and out of the scope of the buisness they do, you should be fine

 

tricky situation you got there.

 

Same applies to you, read this thread:

And the blog in my signature has an article written less than an hour ago on this very subject of trademarked domain names.

Enjoy your reading!

Kindest regards.
