I'm not sure who you could sell it to besides the Vegas casino... and if you approach them then it's an obvious bad faith registration of the name.

Undeveloped bellagio.us = probably worthless

Bellagio
When an individual in a group vomits which triggers a domino effect of subsequent individuals vomiting in a chain reaction reminiscent of the water show in front of the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
"On my flight from NY to Seattle, the turbulence got the best of a group of grade school students and kicked of a Bellagio."

bellagio.us?
1) (Probably) No trademark issues as long as you are not directly relating your site to gambling and/or the famous casino
2) "When an individual in a group vomits..."
You could (for example) create a satire/parody site related to certain U.S. politicians.

obvious trademark issue.

Not it is not.

Trademark only restricts competitors in the same industry from using your registered brand name or company name. Multiple registrations, by the same or different companies—each registration in a different class of business—are allowed. ... Trademarks are not a name; a trademark is a name PLUS its goods or services.

You mean to tell me the person who reg'ed it has the same last name as you! Is that your brother then?

Also the same person that started this thread, wow what a surprise conversation about this so called amazing domain. Obviously you didn't get the memo of no privacy on .us domains. Maybe it is time for Trump to tax Chinese .us buyers a 500% tariff.

 

[urlurl]

not my domain

did your brother or husband buy it, lol



isn't that your company?

I'm interested. Does anyone know where I can locate the owner of this .US gem!?

 

[frank-germany]

.us is open to anyone with a presence in the USA or a business relation with the USA
get a US server or a US parking company and the rules are satisfied

...
... Vomiting? Hah..

That was a simple easy to find "almost funny" thing. <edit see below>

...
Its not only industries but also countries count for trademarks as well...

Perfect, one country (for example the USA)
Apple
Apple records (the Beatles) <edit ...snip ... edit>

How much did Apple pay the Beatles?
It was reported that Apple Inc paid Apple Corps $500million to do so. Commenting on the settlement at the time, Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO said, “We love the Beatles, and it has been painful being at odds with them over these trademarks.​

Trademarks are supposed to be based on and industries, including the name brand. I am surprised to find out the Beatles label (Apple) did sue Apple computer. This doesn't match with other sources on the topic.

Semi-obvious, thanks for helping point me in the right direction.

(This is copied from another similar recent thread)

In general, as long as you are clearly in a different industry, then there is no trademark issue.
For the "Big Players" (as an example), if you try to start "Google Pet Grooming", Amazon Canadian Buds , or "Bellagio Pizza" then you are probably asking for obvious trouble.​

YOU SAID IT

 

[atinc]

YOU SAID IT

is that the main reason of the person who registered it?

I don't think so.

Bellagio... I live in Turkey but even for me , the casino is the first thing pops on my mind when I see the name.

Not a group of people vomiting, trigerred by the other.
