It is a good name and you could easily make a information site regarding the world cup. You could find info on all the stadiums and as they qualify the teams that will be in it. Which we probably won't know till the end of this year. Alot of possibilities to develop this domain you don't have to necessarily use one you could easily implement all your ideas into it.

Thank for your reply
Yes, it has a great number of possibilities for his use but i also know that i have to sell it during these months for obvious reasons.
Which could be a reasonable price for you?
Thanks!

I wouldn't touch this domain with a 1000-foot pole. FIFA owns the trademark to the "World Cup" trademark, both individually and in virtually all combinations of those terms and "2010". They also have a big team of lawyers that will likely crack down on you. Just because Sedo sold a domain doesn't mean that it's not trademarked.

I think and i'm pretty sure that only FIFA is a TM.
How could be a TM the world worldcup (use for hundreds of sports) or the number 2010?

 

[hrethel]

Well, I'm not saying that 2010, in and of itself as solely a number, is a trademarked term. What I am saying is that "2010 World Cup" as a phrase is trademarked by FIFA. Look on uspto.gov and you'll see that any 2010 World Cup-related term is trademarked by FIFA, as is simply "World Cup" as it relates to soccer/football. Search on Google and you'll find more stories of people who had 2010 World Cup domains getting in legal trouble from FIFA. "I think" isn't a substitute for research into TM problems.

Agreed. I have a good domain for you if you want to develop something - cup-world.com
