domain FIFAWorldCupResults.com

[stormwolf]

Got this one, hand registered, about a month ago. A bit of history checking showed that it was a decent football and World Cup blog for 3 years about 5 years ago.

The phrase itself gets a ton of search results, around 100k a month, for a few months during and after each World Cup.

Oh and I also listed it for sale on flippa, no reserve (I'll be happy if it sells for like $15)

This has a super famous tm in the domain. These type of domains can be hit with a UDRP. So we tend to appraise them at zero. Good Luck

Might even be two Trademarks for the price of one!

Still zero, though.

The term FIFA World Cup is a TM issue, rendering this domain worthless. But don't shy away from domains with just the term World Cup as it is a widely used term for many events. FIFA does not have a TM on it as you might think. Instead they do World Cup 2010 or World Cup 2008 etc.There are World Cup softball tournaments, World Cup Sand Sculpting, World Cup music, World Cup boxing etc.

Ouch...FIFA is a TM and they are pretty strict with protecting their brand

Drop this name ASAP, and at least remove the football ads off the parked site..

FIFA is a TM as well
