I want to register a domain name that I know is the trademark of a large company. Is this going to make me rich?
No. This is going to make you the target of a lawsuit. The problem is that two or three years ago, when the domain market was much smaller and companies were just feeling their way tentatively, it was indeed possible to turn a quick profit by selling an unwary company its own name back.
Now companies have wised up, precedent has been set, and you are likely, though not certain, to lose any ensuing legal action. Don't waste your time and money, find safer names. |
