domain 2012team-gb.com

Hi all,
I registered this domain, "2012team-gb.com" last year i attached it to an olympic blog I was a bit worried the hyphen would devaluate it, any opinions from professional domainers would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance Mal.

You might want to check the trademarks - if I remember correctly, 2012 is TM'ed in relation to the Olympics

Thanks jon,
I already checked that and this is what i found;


Interestingly LOCOG sought to gain even further protection through normal trade mark law by seeking a wide range of trade marks. Included within these applications originally made in June 2007 was a mark for the number ‘2012’ itself. Such a trade mark would in theory have given wide powers to LOCOG to prevent any other business using the number 2012 in relation to its products or services. Reassuringly, this application appears to have finally been abandoned in the last couple of months after the Intellectual Property Office indicated that they were likely to refuse the application.
That info came from here.
