Hi friends, I initially wanted to develop dalle.ai into a travel blog website, but it looks like it may be more useful now to be an AI themed website. Otherwise I will just sell the domain. If I sell it, how much would you value it at?

Dalle is a commonly used name in many parts of the world, like Tully ; )Hmmm sounds vaguely similar to the dall-e trademark of openai
You missed, the basilrathbone classes are not covered.I would be careful with it since it might go toward domain squatting.
So I agree with @Kyle Tully
Kind regards, zotix

Active registered TM with Dalle.
I guess most of the Nizza classes are covered anyway.
— Anyone can own an AI domainIts still Domain Squatting from my point of view, especially with the .ai TLD

Give me strong arguments to prove to someone that DALLE.ai (especially the tld, which indicates artificial intelligence) would cause trademark-related issues.
ChatGPT
To prove that registering "DALLE.ai" would likely cause trademark-related issues with OpenAI's "DALL-E" trademark, especially given the ".ai" top-level domain (TLD) which is commonly associated with artificial intelligence, you can present the following arguments:
These arguments highlight the risks and potential legal issues associated with registering a domain name that is highly similar to an established trademark, particularly in the same industry.
- Likelihood of Confusion:
- Similar Name: "DALLE.ai" is phonetically and visually similar to "DALL-E." The slight variation in spelling is unlikely to prevent confusion among consumers.
- Industry Context: Both names are associated with artificial intelligence. The ".ai" TLD directly suggests a connection to AI, the same field in which DALL-E operates.
- Trademark Protection:
- Brand Recognition: DALL-E has established significant brand recognition as an AI image generation tool. Using a similar name in the same field can mislead consumers into thinking there is an affiliation or endorsement by OpenAI.
- Legal Precedent: Trademark law protects against names that can cause confusion in the marketplace. Courts and domain dispute resolution panels often side with established trademark holders in cases of clear similarity.
- Consumer Confusion:
- Market Impact: Consumers might assume that "DALLE.ai" is an official site or service associated with DALL-E, leading to confusion. This can harm OpenAI's brand by associating it with an unaffiliated entity.
- Search Engine Results: People searching for DALL-E might encounter "DALLE.ai" and mistakenly believe it is related, which can dilute the brand and impact OpenAI’s traffic and reputation.
- Bad Faith Registration:
- Intent: If the intent behind registering "DALLE.ai" is to capitalize on the DALL-E name, it can be seen as bad faith registration. This is especially true if the registrant seeks to profit from the established goodwill of the DALL-E trademark.
- Domain Dispute Policies: Under policies like the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP), bad faith registration of a domain name similar to an existing trademark can result in the transfer or cancellation of the domain.
- Dilution and Tarnishment:
- Brand Dilution: Using a similar name can dilute the distinctiveness of the DALL-E brand, weakening its unique association with OpenAI’s product.
- Potential Tarnishment: If the content or services provided at "DALLE.ai" are subpar or controversial, it could tarnish the reputation of DALL-E by association.
- Preventive Measures by OpenAI:
- Proactive Protection: OpenAI is likely to take proactive legal measures to protect its brand. This could include sending cease-and-desist letters or filing a complaint with domain dispute resolution authorities.
- Legal Costs and Liability: Registering "DALLE.ai" could lead to legal battles, resulting in significant costs and potential liability for damages.

so, if you would say to how many percent (probability), it's a trademark-related problem? Give me YES or NO in percentage.
ChatGPT
Based on the arguments and the likelihood of consumer confusion given the similarity and context, I would estimate there is about a 90% probability that registering "DALLE.ai" would result in a trademark-related problem with OpenAI.
Thank you for the discussion, everyone! Yeah the issue here seems to be on the rights to the domain name, instead of the price. I know the Dalle name is now a well known AI brand, but it was not the case 2 years ago. Also, the AI tld is first and foremost the tld for Anguilla, which is the subject of my website. It's just more valuable to make it about artificial intelligence.
Hi! Perhaps the safest thing to do is to develop it into something original that does not interfere with TM brands. It can be a small site. Keep it honestly yours. If anyone wants your domain, they will contact you and you will be in a good position to negotiate. Because real "legitimate use" gives you right to the domain. It supports your claim that you did not have the TM brand in mind when you registered the domain.Hi friends, I initially wanted to develop dalle.ai into a travel blog website, but it looks like it may be more useful now to be an AI themed website.

It was written about in Forbes, TechCrunch, CNBC, and other massive publications in early 2021.
It was certainly a well-known brand 2 years ago.
If you make your site about AI then that's where you'll run into trouble.
So what? Once the trademark is approved, he won't be able to sell the domain without risking an UDPR.— The trademark that is under discussion is "Pending"
Doesn't matter, they're too similar. You can't create a service similar to Dell's PowerScale and then brand it "Power-Scale," and think you'll be fine.— The trademark that is under discussion is for "DALL-E", not "DALLE"
Also, the AI tld is first and foremost the tld for Anguilla, which is the subject of my website. It's just more valuable to make it about artificial intelligence.
Yeah, I've noticed this too. A lot of people are feigning innocence, there was another guy who registered onlyfanstore.com alleging that it was intended to be used for a store for electric fans despite it being very obvious that he was trying to capitalize on an existing brand.I mean, he said:
So you want to operate with DALLE.ai, in Anguilla? Bro, roughly 1300 people living there.....
sorry..
hahahaha
Make it for real, make it the best of its kind if you can. I maybe wrong, but I think DALL-E one day will evolve into something else with a different name. On the other hand, people will always be interested in travel and the Caribbean. If you are creative and have the tools, there is always something new and original to be built on any domain.I appreciate everybody's opinion on this! Now I'm actually curious if Open AI might take any action lol. In the meantime, I think the safest bet is to keep it as a travel blog about Caribbean island.
Thank you for the encouraging message, I agree that this is the way to go.Make it for real, make it the best of its kind if you can.

I possess neither the money nor the tools to afford buying and developing it myself, but I have thought of a completely different use of your name (one related to the meaning of the root word, not the acronym or the now renown brands). As far as I know (research in progress), it would be something new and disruptive. No need to feign here, IMHO.Thank you for the encouraging message, I agree that this is the way to go.
Hi, @zotix, my mistake, I was thinking about a paid consult to an IP expert and only mentioned John Berryhill as an example. (thus I didn't tag him). Probably I wasn't clear enough, due to language limitations.I don't know if Dr. Berryhil is that good, but I think he won't have the capacity to answer every legal topic related to the thread since he is not working for UNICEF and providing free support (that is my humble opinion).
