“Super Bowl” is a registered trademark of the National Football League, going back to 1966.
Naturally, the NFL owns SuperBowl.com – but what about those that think it’s ok to register domains abusing this famous trademark?
Apparently, there are at least 2,968 domain names – including those operated by the NFL – that contain the term “superbowl“, according to top domain tool, ZFBot!
With a lucrative market for sports paraphernalia, the trademark violators have a financial motive, no doubt.
Surprisingly, we found no “Super Bowl” domains listed on Flippa.com, which is a good thing for a change. However, some fool there is selling MyNewEnglandPatriots.com
Also on Flippa, the auction for 2012superbowl.org ended with the domain being unsold.
Kids, don’t do it!
