When I do some domain research before I register, sometimes I run into a paragraph like so (example dates quoted, from some random domain checkup I did):
Name Brand Protection Analysis 01 December 2014
The more valuable a domain name is, the more likely it is to be protected by trademarks and other rights. The Intellectual Property Rights owners will seek to protect their trademarks and brands by registering the term in various Top Level Domains.
The .com .net and .org TLDs are the oldest of the global TLDs. For older brands, the intellectual property rights owner is likely to have registered it in these three TLDs. The focus of brand protection will be on the .com version of the domain name. A domain name with the same hosters for the domain term in these three TLDs is likely to be the subject of brand protection registrations.
END QUOTE
I am quite new and wonder whether I should pay any attention to domain names that say this.. even if it clearly lists them as dropped or deleted from registry, and now available for hand reg.. sometimes a year ago. sometimes as far back as 5 years ago.. etc.
thank you
