The domain in question is Music123.net which seems generic enough but is actually trademarked by GuitarCenter which had over 2 billion dollars in sales in 2019. Their lawyer wants me to transfer and I am inclined to do so given then their long standing history and high rank in the market but I have a few points that I would like to put forth to see if anyone thinks they hold any defense:
- Music123.net only resolves to a for sale landing page for which to make an offer on
- There are no references to music in the pictures or words on the page
- I had no knowledge of the brand or trademark before registration
- I am a domain name investor and <Music> and <123> are generic terms
