agree.. groupon used this same tactic to get their name. The story someone had the name.. they trademarked it so the other party was not able to do anything with groupon, and was forced to sell. You will either get paid at some future date for the .net name, pay for a trademark and force them to switch.. or possibly they will buy both the trademark and domain.
- DirtyAndy 16y agoI don't really want to go through the expense of trademarking it (£250 starting price in UK) and on a seperate note I find what Groupon did very unethical (although the guy got a really nice payout). I'm more interested (if anyone knows) whether I should be sending these guys an email pointing out that I already operate a website in the same space with the same name and whether prior use (without a trademark) counts for anything. They haven't launched yet, and I don't want to find in two years time that I cannot use my domain.
