If I register a Trade Mark domain and offer that to the company which owned the .COM, they're able to get the domain by legal act?
Even while I'm not using the domain (for build a website)?Yes. You can also be sued.

@Shane Bellone When someone can sued/claim the domain . When you are running a website on that name or just having a domain name similar to their trademark,
I'm not selling anything on that domain name. i just own that domain for sale.I'm not a lawyer but from what I understand if you own a domain that is an infringement and is confusing to the average person (competing in same industry, promoting a competitors products, etc.) you can be sued and have the domain taken. I don't think many people actually get sued though.

That's still infringement.
Thanks, Just one more question. in case someone file the dispute. in which country court they will follow up that case. since everyone isn't from US.That's still infringement.

What's the best way to check for TM domains? Any list of tools etc would be much appreciated as I think I have some .co's which might give me trouble. Thanks in advance.No idea. Sorry. Someone else should be able to jump in.

I happen to have repurposed.co & luxuryhouse.co. They both have .coms which are running as a online business. Would that be a problem?Generic domains are safe

Thanks a ton mate. I'll keep them until I get approached by a buyer or I may sell them later on to some of the people I know.You are fine so long as you there is nothing on your webpages that could be "confusing" or "infringing" on the material on the .coms.
Don't park them because ads may pop up from the .com holder, which would give them grounds to attempt to take the domains.
If it is an acronym you should be okay in most cases. For generic terms you still have to be careful to list the domain for sale. I had B O S S .black taken in UDRP only for having it listed on marketplaces.
