    | They are very active, ex: WIPO Domain Name Decision: D2001-0604 Case Details for WIPO Case D2000-0435: olympiconlinestore.com, usaolympiconlinestore.com Case Details for WIPO Case D2000-0189: usolympicstore.com and there are many more. So if I were you, I would NOT want the headache.

Reason: Spelled wrong "I would want" should be "I would NOT want"

MissyBC, The date in the domain is irrelevant. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) aggresively protects their "Olympics" trademark. Since you just registered the domain contact GoDaddy and see if they'll allow you to cancel the registration and get a refund. Otherwise it would be best to just cancel the registration without the refund. I know the .NET and .ORG are also registered so if you want to ignore the advice offered that's your choice. Good luck. | ||||

| I don't know why you registered it in the first place - there's no 2022 Olympics anyway! Only a Winter Olympics. Regardless, it's a major TM breach, and they chase these up like noone else.

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=586331 It obviously was an innocent mistake which you corrected. Good going. You're not the only one who has made this mistake. All the best to you. | ||||
