Just got an cease and desist from realtors association for bitcoin domains that contains realtor in it. Rookie move on my part. Too late for grace delete. What are my options here?
If you are aware of any problematic domain in our portfolio, please feel free to reach out. Because we don't knowingly and willfully violate TMs, that we know exist.With all due respect Kate if it were that easy I wouldn't find a domain you own in less than 2 mins. that has a trademark. So the chart is flawed from the get go.

Sure, in our portfolio there are plenty of LLL for example, that stand for multiple TMs. At the same time, nobody can claim universal exclusivity and that is precisely why several TMs can coexist worldwide.As for your domains, if you think you don't own a name with a TM in some form or fashion, that's funny and go do your own homework.
I'll skip the other stuff because I've said enough, if I'm not clear on how I feel I'll never be.
Why do you want to guide people in legal matters you know nothing about? That does not an expert make.
Its people like you that prevent other newbies gaining knowledge from the people that have it.

Here we are talking about a blatant TM, and the NAR is known to enforce their brand vigorously.
You don't register a domain name without a good reason, especially when there are TM issues at hand.
The OP knew, and now he tries to justify the reg with some BS excuse.
Another Mike Row Soft moment...
So the flowchart can be simplified:
Register domain -> realize mistake -> drop domain without a fuss
It doesn't take 5 pages of endless discussion.
Thanks for the entertainment everyone. I am sure the nra is enjoying this too. And the general public, must be having a good laugh
I am going to see my property manager, also a licensed realtor today and he can give me his opinion.
You got a desist letter, they are more than aware of this name and i hope they come after you with everything they got.
Its people like you that give us a bad name, call us cyber squatters
Another nail in the domaining coffin, you said days ago you were going to delete it. Are you still to busy getting photo's taken of you in your hospital bed to hit delete, or you loving the attention.
Either way, this is not good for publicity and an emberrasment to domaining.
I hope this thread makes robbies blog and headlines at domaining.com
Get well soon. Physically and mentally
I was checking out your ads. Lots of local realtors advertising, good to know.
Hopefully they don't come after you for the click money your making
I own a domain with Realtor in it. Its actually the only domain I own with a TM in it.
The NAR was in contact with the previous owner and according to them it is OK to use as long as you make it clear that your site is aimed only at members of the NAR (I am in possession of the correspondence). If this is possible certainly depends on the name and since you received a C&D its prudent to lay down the pitchfork. But the NAR can be spoken to and they have some people with sense there.
I have owned the domain for two years and it remains undeveloped at this point.
Yeah, brilliant. Laying it out here, not so much! Most of law is all about intent, or lack thereof. TM infringement and UDRP is practically all about that (as in bad faith). Such clearly laid out rationalization after the fact is not exactly sure fire defence in the highly unlikely event this went further (I seriously doubt anybody in their right mind would prosecute should @Avtar629 concentrate on important things, like his post-op recovery, and simply ignore this so-called CDL).
I think he's best off just deleting the names (which it sounds like he's in the process of doing) and letting the thread die. People can read the 6 pages and hopefully learn something.
As @Kate pointed out "Here we are talking about a blatant TM, and the NAR is known to enforce their brand vigorously."
what does the CD letter say?
Cheers

out of the hospital finally
Welcome back, that's about right...7 days. Now the healing starts.
Enjoy your holiday season, rest and repair...and get ready to make 2017 an outstanding year!

The registrar will give up the contact info to a lawyer with a TM claim every time
Been there. I have shared with several other members my experience with R**ltor TM. They just want you to cancel it or drop it if expiring soon. Nothing else.
use the word "realty" next time lol
I actually called them upon receipt of the email letter. If you had had it on privacy you probably could but if they have your info...Immediately? they sent me this letter in less than a month of reg. pretty quick. do I have at least the entire year of the paid reg since you mentioned "expiring soon".
I tried to make sense of what you said above there. The lesson is realtor is a word you don't register.As for the last part don't know if you missed it.
I'm in the ICU recovery just had bone fusion surgery. Level 4 and 5 and level 3 and 4
Had to redo an old fusion because of screw fracture due to recent rear end car accident on a bridge on December 13,2013. Bastard had only $14k coverage from Pennsylvania! Are you kidding me?
Yup that's right.
12/13/13 on a Friday the 13th and it was a full moon no less.lol (shoulda stayed home!)
Had to be extracted from my crap car using the jaws of life!Cool!!!
Oh and I had the pleasure of having a tiny Indian doctor stick two fingers up my bum to see if I have spine damage.
I loved how they trick you. Tell you to turn on your side and ask you your birthday. And I say.
April 26, 196ayyyyyyyeeeeeee9 as doc stuck his fingers in me! (. Not my real birthday)
Lol
So yea that's why I haven't gotten around to it. Lol
Sorry long story. Mods? Delete!
Stalking you? Some connection liked or shared your photo on yes linkedin. I saw it. If that is stalking, book me
