domain SpaceShipTwo.com AND SS2.com

Hi there,

Please appraise these two domains and give your thoughts on possible TM-infringement issues. Thx!

Well space ship one was the first privately funded spaceship to enter space. I can imagine they will be after making a space ship 2, and as they already are well known for their efforts in that sphere I would imagine your space ship two . com will be of interest to them. Legal route or otherwise.

ss2 can mean anything.

I am rather disappointed today, very disappointed.

Yesterday SpaceShipThree.com was available, and I really considered buying it, but I figured with SS3 only ready in 2017 and with possible TM issues that it was a dubious investment.

Today SpaceShipThree.com .net .org is taken, yesterday they were all available.

What would you have paid for SpaceShipThree.com?

Hmm... I wonder if your thread was the reason why they got regged, this happens often Im sure, someone sees something and starts digging into it. I guess sometimes you gotta bite your tongue...

Kinda like if someone regs the singular of a domain but leaves the plural just sitting there, obviously if the singular gets attention and the plural makes sense, you can bet it will be shortly regged by someone.

That often happens in a free competitive market. I had it happen once and since kept my ideas to myself until I was ready to buy or not. I harbored no hard feelings then as now as this is first and foremost a business, not a high school where we feel slighted that someone "took" our girlfriend from us.

Bottom line, if it is unattached, it's fair game.

To be honest, I wouldn't buy SpaceShipThree.com let alone the other extensions, so to me at least, less than reg fee. Someone saw value in it, though, so good luck to you and the other person whoever he or she may be.
