I get the picture : ) Out of curiosity, why is every extension imaginable registered? People making the same mistake?
The only way probably to get away with such name is to set up an Iphone 4 fan club. Apple usually doesn't sue fan websites and communities but nothing guaranteed. it's like playing with fire. Good luck
Schwanzie, based on my experience as communication and business consultant (i.e. am neither a developer nor a programmer) and based on a couple of people i've assisted with trademark infringements, you should keep in mind that "iphone" is indeed a registered trademark! This means that Apple could file - anytime - a trademark infringement lawsuit...... Now, if you've been asking yourself why, then, the web is full of iphone related websites, just consider that those websites are free promotion/pr for Apple. This, though, is my personal opinion based on my communication and pr experience..... Good Luck, Emil
LOL agreed. You will be getting an email via your registrar from them soon im sure asking you to transfer it to them. Ive had it happen a few times on accident from even much smaller companies than apple.
if you register it out of the US you can usually get away with it, also there are a lot of risk takers out there haha
Becareful with these sort of domains, domains like these you can be forced to give them up to the owners with the trademark
Thanks for all the answers. BTW, I do live outside the US, but point taken: probably can't even hide from Apple on the moon! I just saw this on Sedo, which is why I am posting again: any ideas how this is possible? APPLELAPTOP.CO Current Bid: 5,450 EUR
Either it's a fake bid by the owner of that name (if only 1 bid) or someone has too much money to burn on a worthless name.
