Anyone price this for me? Realise it's not the most popular extension but good domain?
Ahh really? Thought there might be an issue with tm. Posted the current site on the official forums and nothing said..
Only cost £20 so I'll keep it for now
Prime example of Cybersquatting. Generally when 'Cybersquatters' ask 'Domainers' for advice on their TM names, the results aren't pretty.
How is it worthless?its worthless drop it

The type-in traffic should be fairly high with it being 1 letter off from the .com
Just park the domain and blacklist video game ads to appear. Their cybersquatting Case would be hard to prove without video game content.
I’m well aware of what a trademark is. The problem is that the trademark owner of fortnite video game do not own the letters of the alphabet. How do you know, for example, that the OPs website isn’t named “for tnite” (a play on words of “for tonight”)? If it has no video game content, how can it be violating a trademark where the trademark is categorized for an electronic video game?setting up a website with a trademarked name is immoral and illegal - you are trying to profit from another companies brand, the example you have given @domainguy50 should not be so flippantly given without any legal context
The OP should drop the name - it's that simple
Trademark Protection
A trademark protects "words, names, symbols, sounds or colours that distinguish goods and services from those manufactured or sold by others and to indicate the source of the goods."
This means that a company can register a trademark for its business name, slogans, logos and other items that essentially brand the product or company.
Registering a trademark first requires doing a trademark search to ensure it's not already in use. Because of the legal ramifications, most trademark experts recommend using an attorney to assist in trademark registration.
the above was taken from:
or you can check wikipedia and loads of other sites to get an idea on copyright and trademarks
better yet - speak to a lawyer
Read my latest post directly above this one. Remember Nissan(.)com? How did that trademark work out for Nissan car company?Your talking complete rubbish!
My original suggestion was to make a parked site and BLACKLIST Video game adsso @domainguy50 I assume you are quoting the below case which involved a very different set of facts to this thread and the OP's reasoning behind registering the name in question
your original post recommended the OP to create a site using the fortnite name for listing video
How is this comparable?
You obviously have a low moral threshold and are looking for ways to exploit the system so I will not be commenting on this thread again and will not be responding to any further comments from you

So how did Nissan.com or SlutsofInstagram.com get away with it? The latter even got a threatening letter from IG years ago and he “played stupid”You need to go and spend some time reading the legal section
Fortnite or it’s maker do not own the letters of alphabet
