PG13RatedMovies.Com how bout it

I thnk that this is a good domain name...how would you make money by developing it?

 

[HeyGeek]

I could be wrong but I think that PG13 is a trademark, which would detract from any value the domain may have. If it isn't a trademark it's a pretty cool domain.

As with any domain, the value is what someone is willing to pay for it.

Believe it or not, you're very likely to have this domain taken away from you by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) -- the movie rating system is trademarked by the MPAA and they're very protective of it.

I know from firsthand experience: they forced me to hand over NC-17.mobi through e-mail, phone, and letter contact from their very high-end lawyer. No legal action ended up happening, but only because I was cooperative...

Just thought you'd like to know what might lay in store.

Thats good to know, as I have always wondered about this.

Sorry for your sake cazual.

Good luck.

I think that this is about the 5th (maybe 6th) trademark issue request for appraisal posted today.....people really need to do some research before they spend money regging a name.

Easy to check TM

TESS-Check Trademark Electronic Search System

Let me add that if you check pg13 you get nothing, but pg-13 show lots of applications. Same with nc-17

Trust me -- with the "ratedmovies" following the "PG13," there is absolutely no doubt that you're infringing on their trademark. It's not like you or anyone else could possibly use the domain for anything else, hyphens or not.
