Would love to hear what the experts think! This show was pretty popular and monthly exact Google searches are 40,500.

Thank you!

CBS US trademark SN 73085940 and S.1255 -- Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act stack the odds against an unlicensed registrant.

Good luck!

Old TM too. 1976

Too late to Godaddy grace delete (refund).

Unless your a legally married lesbian couple with these two names, I would suggest just deleting it and moving on. Goodluck

 

[Dylan Andersen]

Thank you both. I figured that might be the case. I sort of inherited it so no money lost.

Guys - can i ask one more question about this? When does a domain name infringe on TM status? For example:

Androidcentral dot com
thesaabsite dot com
yourfordparts dot com

Why don't these domains have trouble with TM?

Thank you!

"Why don't these domains have trouble with TM?"

TM holder gave permission
TM holder complained and lost
TM holder is asleep
TM holder has bigger fish to fry
TM holder is about to rain down like a ton of bricks

Policy example - Google. Third bullet item from the bottom: “Don't register Google trademarks as second or third level domain names.”

ecalc policy - avoid hornets
