domain Fiba.us Please Appraise this domain!

[Didoz]

Hello,

Please can you appraise this domain?

Fiba.us

Note: Fiba.com is the International BasketBall Federation!
and Fiba.net is Florida International Bankers Association!

so there is a big change to take that domain, specially Fiba.net becouse it's a Bank in USA, and my domain Extension is .US!

Regards,
Didoz

You're opening yourself to bad faith if you email them...

Please explain better, i didn't get what you mean exactly!

 

[slantednet]

If you email them with an offer to sell them a domain that they may have a TM claim in, you're making it easy for them to prove that you registered it in bad faith (i.e., no reason to register their TM'd name except to profit off the fact that it's their TM). If they ever take it to WIPO you make their case easier for them.

Parking it will also prove the bad faith element of the claim as well, and so is not a good idea either.

I suggest you develop something completely unrelated on it, then if they come later and want it, you have grounds to negotiate...

 

[Didoz]

Well, maybe, but why they should think like that? it's good for them, becouse the Bank is in USA and the domain extension is .US

 

[slantednet]

Yes. But you have no reason to register it, and it's not a common word.. and hence they could easily prove that you registered it, in bad faith, solely for the purpose of selling it to them or profiting off their trademark...

 

[Didoz]

Well, yes, you're right, anyway it's a chance for me if Fiba.com or Fiba.net asked me for it

Thanks!

 

[Didoz]
