.tv Netboomerang - Lifeminders.TV

Former DOT COM darling. I know a little bit about the company.

Interesting that no-one has picked up on the concept of regging old DOT COM companies that got VC money and/or went public. LifeMinders had 20+ million members, did a Super Bowl commercial, and spent $ millions building a brand name.

Any thoughts on regging old DOT COM brands in DOT TV?

BTW netboomerang is a phrase I coined for old DOT COM (circa 1999-2001) companies that were decent ideas, but had poor management or business plans. In Web2.0, these former DOT COM brands could make a comeback (like a boomerang) as a DOT COM or other extension. I have bought up several old DOT COM company domain names. I've also regged a couple in the DOT TV extension.

Would there not be TM issues?

That's what I was thinking.

I am not an attorney, but I would guess that it would depend on whether the TM was live or dead.

More on whether or not the company is alive or dead and if they someone bought the IP or if the IP died with the company. If they bought the IP, they would also buy the domain (and I know examples where that has happened).
