I didn't see a (IOE) Internet Of Everything thread if I missed it my Apologies.

Please share your Regs and sales here if you wish.

As of lastnight I hand regged these...

Is any feedback for disliking and saying haha? (domainsyrup

@DT13 Was meant to be a 'like' but it's more fiddly on a tablet

Disliking ioeCompany is funny in itself too. I have worked in tech my whole life and an "ioe" company makes more sense than a "cloud" company. Too bad people are so eager to shoot down others names. Too bad.

It doesn't mean 'dislike'. I though you saw my .company domains and you decided to reg it.
BTW IoT.company was available for $41 but I pass...

There are some HUGE companies marketing "IOT" / "IOE" so, semantics aside, I do think there will be some action in the space.[/QUOTE

IOT is a landmark is the evolution of wireless communication. So far we are in the third stage. The first is the discovery of the internet itself, the second is mobile internet, when wifi was embedded in mobile devices and now IOT.

That's how remarkable a technology it is.

Internet of Everything is a Cisco trademark. You risk a UDRP for any IoE-related domain.

The generic term is IoT: Internet of Things.

Interestingly, IoE wasn't registered by Cisco: they probably never bothered because they knew nobody else stood a chance of enforcing such a registration. Which creates yet another problem: not only do you have Cisco to contend with, but a patent/trademark troll has entered the picture. Someone obviously registered that trademark with the intent of picking on the little guys. Are you going to be his next victim?

Can't be bothered to check, but chances are IoT is held by a troll, too. The advantage IoE investors have over IoT investors is that Cisco is eventually going to get rid of the IoE troll.

Edit: The only valid IoT trademark I could find with the USPTO is this one, which may be legitimate, since IoT wasn't a widely used term in 2013. It claims first use in 2007, but the category is pretty cryptic and could be deliberately ambiguous. Hopefully we'll never know.

This happened to me in a different but related category. I ended up deleting them with the quickness. Someone else will likely catch them and try to sell them not knowing that they are in fact trademarks.

The thing is, if someone trademarked "smart phone" *before* you bought "smartphones.com" you better drop it like a hot potato even if it's a plural form, unless you're going to publish a magazine or blog about smart phones as a non competing business...

IOEMagazine.com might be safe. IOECloud.com or IOESuite.com is probably not...

 

[Paul]

Legally speaking, you can't reasonably trademark "smart phone" in the electronics industry.

Realistically speaking, if the troll has more lawyers than you--which he certainly will--then you'd better run. He's not interested in your domain. He's interested in your house.

Smart Phone was just an example.....But my understanding is that, if you were the first person to coin the term "smart phone" you in fact could have trademarked it before it became a common electronics industry terminology. You have to remember that all terminologies were once uncommon and had to be invented by someone at some point in time. That inventor has the right to trademark his new coined terminology if it's unique enough. I'm no lawyer, but this is what I understand about trademarks thus far...

Apple has all the lawyers in the world, but they don't own http://applemagazine.com/ for a reason. It's because they can't, because it's non-competing.

 

[Paul]

I came up with a really good tech word the other day that was worthy of a trademark, and now I forget what it is. Damn.

Edit: Nah, it's because it'd be bad for PR is they took it down, lol

Not according to Cisco, read point 8.

As for the troll, well it's a bit like the trolls who have the term Bitcoin trademarked, once it's challenged it will be thrown out because in both cases neither are indicative of the source of goods or services.
