Advice please?

I registered an obscure domain name yesterday. One hour later I find out this obscure word is trademarked. (ould you believe it?) I immediately deleted domain in question. Hopefully this keeps me out of trouble?

Sounds a bit strange but you have nothing to worry about.

Yeah Thanks for that.

I thought I finally thought up a nice domain name....... registered it and 1hour later I see someone has a trademark on the exact obscure word. Anyhow I deleted it. Dont want to get anywhere nere TM's Thanks for thougths anyway.:cy:

Even though I deleted domain 36 hours ago and deleted domain from parking provider there is still a parked page showing for deleted domain after 36 hours. Hopefully this will disappear soon?

You made an honest mistake. If you were trying to sell it or build a business on it, that's when you would get into potential trouble. I am sure you will be fine.

Is this parked the same one you had the name on, or is it different?
It could be that your registrar is holding onto the name to check its revenue potential.
If they are, it has nothing to do with you.

Thanks for that. Been worrying myself stupid. Yes honest unintentional mistake. I deleted straight away. Didnt occur a name like that would be trademarked. Anyway thanks for your post.
