So here is a domain I own ( Bought few months back from GoDaddy AUCTION),

let's say it CompanyAv.com. (Both "company" and "AV" are keywords for reference purpose) First registered in 2000 and I'm only the second owner (from JAN'21).

Just last week I reached to a company that operates in domain 'Company.co', started in 2017, a well-funded billion-dollar AV- lets say Antivirus company, for selling the domain along with few other leads.

Today itself a company lawyer approached me saying that I have no right to own this domain since his client operates that business and my intent is bad. and they are proceeding with further steps.

"Company" is a very generic keyword also the term "AV" ( Anti Virus, Audio Visual, Automated vehical etc.. ) means a lot many things. A company that used to own that name was in -- let's say: audiovisual business,

Now my intent: obviously to earn profit from the name, but are they going to prove it ??
Since I am a legitimate owner of the name I have the right to sell the name at whatever price I want and to whomever, It's not even a trademark name, but the only thing going opposite to me is that I reached to them to sell the name first.

* The name has other leads as well which also operates in "AV" related business.

Change the Who Is to your wife name and let she deal with it.
She will win.

Sounds like slow system which deprives Registrant right (delete) should be ashamed, suspect, to keep cash flow of people forgot on “auto” at regular price.. lol But i dont want to hijack this thread ; ) You’d just have to promptly email them.. lol

Delete the domain.

At my very beginnings in my "on and off hobbie" I registered a domain with a trademark.
Two months after that, I got an email from a law firm, Elzaburu. I agreed to let the domain expire and I just put a 404 page.

I moved away from domains once again for some time.

Delete the domain.

Tell them you have decided to delete the domain and are informing them along with the 10 other companies which the domain is relevant to, that this domain will now be free.

When it drops, you could decide to register it again if it is free after a few days of it being on the open market, and then put a blog on it.

But honestly, what's the point. Lick your wounds and move on.
