$0. It's trademarked. Nobody's going to buy it off you with the potential threat of a UDRP.

Thanks. I'm new to domaining, and I see your point, but I don't think there would be any merit to a UDRP as I understand the process - and Fox has bigger concerns right now. Both legally and practically, I think the risk is very low to nonexistent. Anyone else want to share thoughts?

From wikipedia (feel free to point me to a better resource):

'A complainant in a UDRP proceeding must establish three elements to succeed:

• The domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights;
• The registrant does not have any rights or legitimate interests in the domain name; and
• The domain name has been registered and the domain name is being used in "bad faith".'

I don't see issue here with trademark either.

Smartmatic trademark is not related to law companies.
