    You should stay away from intellectual property rights (trademarks) owned by someone else. These domains have a negative value because of the legal exposure in owning them. You can't use a domain name that rides the goodwill established by someone else. The domain could be taken in a UDRP and/or result in a lawsuit against the owner. I would drop the domain and get a refund if you can.

    Agreed. We have been slapped on the wrist a couple of times through the years where we just didn't know they were trademarked. Examples: realtor and onesie. We also had a Nascar site that we got rid of. No sense in playing with fire. You'll likely just end up getting burned.

    I would guess that this is a trademarked term and with the - I don't see it being worth any more than reg fee.
