Question: what if you have a launched business + the trademark to the name and someone still owns and won't sell the .com URL? We own the .co and all other extentions but the .com is preferred, would you go about thr same way groupon did it in this case?
- jackowayed 16y agoYou can't force them to relinquish it. They should know that because you have the trademark, they can't launch anything with that name. They're probably just hoping that the longer they wait, the more invested you'll get in the name and the more you'll be willing to pay.
- paolomaffei 16y agoAre you sure they can't just call themselves "name.com"?

- notahacker 16y agoIf the current owner registered the domain before you launched the business then you cant possibly prove "bad faith" and he has no need to compete with your trademark to earn parking fees from people that mistakenly link to that URL instead of your own. Have you approached the owner? If it's the domain I think it is then the current owner has a fairly large number of other which suggests he'll be quite happy to let it go if you make it financially worthwhile and quite happy to sit on it and earn parking income until then.
