On the flip side, I had a .com domain on backorder (I have the .co.uk), which was actually released.
I didn't get it (regardless of the back-order), but it got bought up by a domain squatting company who now want about $4K for it. It is currently parked with a horrendous page that doesn't even render correctly.
Now if my my .co.uk site were to get popular (hah!), I fully expect that price tag to increase.
It's a bizarre system.
- _puk 13y agoOh, and I had the trademark for said site..
- noonespecial 13y agoIf you have a trademark, file a complaint with ICANN. It will almost certainly be handed to you. Usually without even hearing from the other party. I've both lost and gained domains in this fashion.
- _puk 13y agoDoes the trademark have to contain .com? i.e. I have theword trademarked, but not theword.com
- gamblor956 13y agoIf you have a trademark and the current domain owner is simply squatting, you should file a dispute with ICAAN. It has a process specifically intended for your situation.
