domain Buildweb.com, appraise please.

Great domain name. Forget selling, turn this into a business of your own.

Big company wants to buy a domain, how to proceed?

I would not want them to make an offer first. I have done quite a bit of price negotiation for intangible intellectual property (not domain sales), and I have preferred to make the first offer by proposing an amount that takes into account both my budget and a fair valuation of the property to...

Trademark Question - Can I Get In Trouble For AppleNewsStories.com

Legitimate editorial use goes a long way. For starters, look at some popular Apple news sites like Apple Insider (http://appleinsider.com) and MacRumors (http://www.macrumors.com) for some guidance. Then, research editorial fair use and see what it allows in comparison to what you have...

question What would be considered more valuable?

Assuming that you are planning on adding a catchy word before these examples, I think ____host.com sounds better.

Neeley v 5 Federal Communications Commissioners, et al

There's a lot of info to wade through here but what I am picking up is that this all started over a $10 parking ticket due to an expired meter. Is that right?

I bought over 60 NYC domains, opinion?

These have the potential to be developed into useful and easily brandable .nyc sites.

Trademark Question

Do not do this. Unless it is your lawyer doing it, under no circumstances should you initiate contact with someone with whom you may have a trademark infringement issue.

Visit***.com or CityOf***.com

Depends what your plans are for the domain. Visit______.com seems better for a site intended for tourists (things to do, sits to see), while CityOf_________ seems better for a site intended for residents (resources and information for residents).

Potential buyer wants to do a background check on me? This is a first.

So far, it sounds like the only hoop that they asked her to jump through was to consider their offer to buy her domain, and what they were offering her in return for that was $5,000.

domain Would love some input. OlympicMedalists.com SportTopics.com

The Olympics hold on that name is like a trademark on steroids. I believe that, at least in the USA, in addition to a normal trademark, there is additional Congressional legislation that further protects the name for the International Olympic Committee against almost any commercial use.

Copyrighted images?

This distinction might illustrate a key difference between online service providers who have DMCA safe harbor protection and a website that does not. Are you insulated from liability if you are the one who is actually posting the photo online, as in the scenario suggested here? I think...

Trade Mark Affiliate ?

The short answer is almost certainly no. I can't see any TM standing for that. Of course, check with your lawyer for a real-world answer. But why lock yourself into one property and spoil for a fight at the same time? Come up with a cool name for your online store that covers the entire...

Screenplays online

Fair use for education is not a myth when it is used correctly. An incorrect interpretation of educational fair use is to conclude that you can reproduce and/or distribute an entire text for your students (or other people that you want to 'educate'). What it means is that you can use quotes...

Trademark Issue

But what better defense against a potential future claim against you is there than the trademarked name holder defending their original application by telling the UPSTO that their use does not conflict with yours?

Does Sedo completely shut down over the holidays?

Overall, other than this delay, are you happy with the Sedo brokerage service? Do you feel that the broker secured a much higher sale price for you than if you had just listed it on your own or put it up for auction?

top Drood [dot] com

Drood [dot] com Registered by me in February 2000. Expires in 2022. The domain has never been developed so there was no traffic to be tracked, nor have I analyzed keyword searches or anything else like that. This domain is currently available for sale on Sedo. I consider this a premium...

Would I be able to start this website on a near-trademarked name?

This complicates things. I am under the impression that, once you acquire a trademark, you are obligated to actually use it. Furthermore, I thought that you actually had to be using it in business already (or be moving towards an imminent launch) in order to get the trademark in the first...

Question on a Trade Mark

It depends. What is your motivation for buying this domain and what do you plan on doing with it? If you are planning to use the name to capitalize off of the success of the What's App messaging service, then you are walking yourself into an infringement. If your plans are completely...
