.now showcase and discussion

[MiamiDomainer93]

I was able to pick up these two names in the 5th day of EAP for a great price. All the highly targeted keywords like news and porn sold in the 2nd day of EAP for around $3,400 each. Please share any of your .now, and your thoughts on the potential future. For some reason, I prefer this extension to .deal that also is in EAP.

And this is not a case where you try to "buy" your own domain?

Yes, I was receiving this error message because I was checking my own domains.

I received a reply from Sedo just now, as follows:
"It is not possible for you to buy your own domains on the marketplace, hence the error message.
Your domains have been successfully verified and listed for sale for everyone else."

Thank you @Sedo

Congrats. This is also why I've not been listing single dictionary words - I was worried they'd approve but at lower prices than I wanted. And if you reject their suggested price - the word is forever tagged with the tag as being rejected by atom (even though they actually accepted it and you are the one who rejected it due to pricing)

When you try to buy some good domains, Namecheap gives a trademark warning in red "A Trademark has been found for this domain". Some examples are:

- Fantastic (.now)
- Mini (.now)
- Wonderful (.now)
- Bigbang (.now)
- Opus (.now)
- Savvy (.now)
- Tron (.now)
- Normal (.now)
- Spectrum (.now)

The warning notice is as follows:

--QUOTE--

A Trademark has been found for this domain
This domain matches one or more trademark records. If you would like to continue registering this domain, you must read and accept the terms of the Trademark notice. You have received this Trademark Notice because you have applied for a domain name which matches at least one trademark record submitted to the Trademark Clearinghouse.
...
You may or may not be entitled to register the domain name depending on your intended use and whether it is the same or significantly overlaps with the trademarks listed below. Your rights to register this domain name may or may not be protected as noncommercial use or “fair use” by the laws of your country. Please read the trademark information below carefully, including the trademarks, jurisdictions, and goods and service for which the trademarks are registered. Please be aware that not all jurisdictions review trademark applications closely, so some of the trademark information below may exist in a national or regional registry which does not conduct a thorough or substantive review of trademark rights prior to registration. If you have questions, you may want to consult an attorney or legal expert on trademarks and intellectual property for guidance. If you continue with this registration, you represent that, you have received and you understand this notice and to the best of your knowledge, your registration and use of the requested domain name will not infringe on the trademark rights listed below. The following Trademarks are listed in the Trademark Clearinghouse:

Yes I got that for some also. It shows you the possible TM clashes and lets you decide if you want to proceed or not. Its up to the individual to make the call.

The trademark notice is interesting but it's interesting that it's now showing up for all TLDs?

Fantastic is a beverage company and the warning shows up for the .now but when I look up fantastic.wine, which would very much be a conflict for a beverage company, there's no warning at all.

Oops!

I don't know if I would appreciate every registrar hitting me with this warning before I handregged domains. Also, would you sue namecheap if you bought a domain and then had to go to ICANN court because you received a claim against your domain that namecheap failed to warn you about? It shouldn't be on them to warn you about IP infringement among 194 countries but once you begin to offer this service, do you find yourself legally obligated to cover all IP for all names?

The trademark notice only shows if the company added their TM to the trademark Clearinghouse. You are correct of course, that almost all dictionary words have myriad companies using them and likely many/most have TMs. So really, unless you're intention is to build a competing site - the TM notice shouldn't bother you (or an end buyer).

Where the TM may matter for this TLD is if there is a TM for FantasticNow.com (and you're seeking to reg Fantastic.now). It may not come into play - as the TM holder may not UDRP and/or notice (or care) and the end user/buyer may be putting up a non-competing, non confusing service. However, in these instances care should be taken before registering (is the TM still in use, company active, etc).

But for general dictionary words - the registrars show any and all TMs that are in the clearinghouse - and it really is irrelevant to us (however, of course any TM holder can UDRP for any reason and you the arbitration panel could claim bad faith for any reason so ymmv). But really that's the case whether or not this TM notification pops up or not and is true for all TLDs.

also - I am not a TM attorney, so you should get counsel if you need TM advice. This is just one laymans opinion and should not be relied on
