Got a domain that dropped today. Have the company (US) now chasing it. your thoughts. No trademark in AU from what I can tell.

Hmmm, now a nice little somewhat passive aggressive threat. ".... I do not want this to escalate and would like to find a nice simple resolution."

I guess it depends on who you are dealing with but I'd let them know that you checked the trademark register and no trademark exists. Was it a PD on the drops because I missed today's action.

It was not a PD. Decent sized company, so I'm guessing someone will get in trouble. I wonder whether I go straight up and say you can have it for $X,XXX or should I play it more straight up I was looking to use it for x reason, I think I'll hold it and wait for them to mention some $$. It's been something like 4 hours since I got it.

I think some of these big companies think that no one would dare touch a domain 'because we are big'....

No trademark...too bad. Even if there is a trademark, it only 'really' means you can't use it for what they've trademarked. Advice I've received is such that even if they add a good or service section after 'you' have bought / registered the domain...it's too late - my experience was 888casino re trademarking. Pretty simple isn't it...if they want it, they can buy it off you? Stressful though hey...

As you say, I wonder whether the angst is worth it sometimes. I can stubborn especially now that I know I'm in the right. I still haven't had a response to my last message which makes me think they are getting advice.
