Bass Lake Watersports : State trademark not strong enough to usurp matching .com #domain

Posted by DomainGang on May 29, 2020, at 1:14 pm

When you register a state trademark, it’s not exactly the strongest claim in a UDRP case. The registrant of BassLakeWatersports.com is advising that boating, kayaking, and other activities were favorite activities on Bass Lake.

Media Options just acquired its second most valuable #domain name!

Posted by DomainGang on May 29, 2020, at 10:55 am

Posted by DomainGang on May 28, 2020, at 12:09 pm

Novi Tec, sellers of the domain Novi.com to Facebook, operate from the domain Novi-Tec.com.

It’s very rare that we hear LLL .in domains selling for five figures, and HOP.in sold on Sedo for $50,000 dollars. The Indian ccTLD is used since its launch as a “brand” enhancer, and in this case it creates a domain hack effect, for “hop in.” Which company spent $50k on a .in domain? As […]
