    I have got 3 .IN Olympic domain names.
    The names consists of Olympic as keyword and i am looking for selling it.

    Do you think i should go ahead as the Olympic fever has gripped the world?

    Looking forward to your suggestions.

    Regards

    I think you should drop those domains unless you want a TM lawsuit. It's a serious breach of TM & from what I've heard, they are people that go after people that breach their TM.

    And the Olympics are extremely aggressive about protecting their TM

    I live where the 2010 games are being held. I registered a variety of them and within 2 weeks had a cease and desist request. Olympic brand will not hesitate to sue you. If you have a domain registered already don't park it even. Let it sit blank and wait for it to expire. If you sell it they will also sue you.
