Say something nice about an investor

DAN will no longer allow the listing of .in domains
Gotta love new policies: Dan.com is ending the ability to list for sale .in domain names. While all existing contracted sales will continue until paid off, all .in domains are being removed from the marketplace at the end of July. Disappointed? So are we, so find out what happened.

If I have a trademark for the domain I want, does that give me leverage on the buying price of the domain?
A commonly asked question: If you own a trademark, can you get that "unused" domain name? In this discussion, someone is asking specifically about negotiating the domain's selling price based on a (pending) trademark application. While not legal advice, feedback is quite interesting.
