Legendary rock group, REO Speedwagon, are still popular to this day.
Formed in 1967, the band cultivated a following during the 70’s and achieved significant commercial success throughout the 80’s.
REO Speedwagon operates from the domain name REOSpeedwagon.com, which has a registration date of 2001. Around the same time, they acquired the domain Speedwagon.com from the original registrant. Before then, the domain was being used “under permission” by the band.
Speedwagon.com was used by the band as recently as in July.
The generic domain Speedwagon.com was registered in 1996, and surprisingly it expired, dropped and was caught by DropCatch.
It’s now being auctioned, with a current bid of $360 dollars, and a little over a day to go. This is a ridiculous price for a historic, generic domain name! 😀
The band owns a registered trademark (1987) for REO SPEEDWAGON, and there are no live marks for SPEEDWAGON at this time, at the USPTO.
Speedwagon.com – currently at $360 dollars
