For example I have these two domains:
blackberry.info (it is a fruit)
barbie.info (it is Australian slang for BBQ)
The last thing I want is for these valuable domains to be taken from me because some big company used the same name for the product.
I know that you shouldn't:
- make a website that covers the same category of the famous brand
- have advertising on the site (or parked page!) that might mention the famous brand - ie AdSense
I would like to think that simply doing nothing with the domain, not even parking it or offering it for sale, should be enough to avoid being accused of "bad faith".
I've taken an extra step with those two examples above. The first, I have built a simple site about blackberry fruit. The second, I have forwarded it to an Australian site that uses BBQs to raise money for charities.
They are both obviously for sale - I am a domainer! Should I not list them for sale and rely on queries via WHOIS?
Also, any other ideas on how to protect domains like these, with genuine generic value?
