Need Appraisal Value of

IMO just putting some numbers after a keyword does not increase the value. For instance tekken1.com can be hand regged now and will have more 'clout' than yours.

Sorry to say but your domain does not have a value IMO. However I am fairly new to this so other forum members might have a different valuation.

Good luck anyway.

Best,
Paul

IMHO, you would face the trademark issue, because you're the one attempting to profit from it under the admission that Tekken 10 is not your game, trademark or commercial product.

The registrar or domain authority can't be expected to search for trademark issues for every automated sale made; they're just supplying a generic service that's the same for every name being offered, trademarked or otherwise. So really, they're not profiting from the trademark infringement, per se.

In my limited understanding of trademark law, trademark owners have a responsibility to police trademark infringements or potentially risk losing their trademark. As an example, the owners of Tekken couldn't knowingly overlook somebody's usage of Tekken10.com, wait until it generates tremendous profit and then sue them for those profits. That could be the result if they genuinely had no knowledge about the infringement, but that's an argument that would have to be raised in court. If, however, they are found to have had prior knowledge and waited until it was profitable to sue, then that's bad faith, and there's a real possibility the courts could decide their negligence forfeits their trademark.

From a legal site that discusses the trademark's owner to pursue trademark issues from TLDs and gTLDs (my account can't post lists; sorry):
"Trademark owners must proactively police and pursue infringement on the Internet in the same manner that they police and pursue infringement in other arenas. The consequences of a failure to do so range from loss of sales to loss of rights to use a mark. "

Either way, it's a risk, so I agree with Paul that it doesn't really have value. Of course I could be totally wrong, so good luck with it.

If you were using apple.net to sell fruit, then you're probably fine. Highly doubtful Apple could go after you. But Tekken isn't a generic term that could be used as a descriptor for anything else and using it as such --even on unrelated products-- can be trademark infringement.

If you wanted to run a blogging website about Tekken games, the correct course of action would be to contact the trademark owners and ask for permission. If you have permission, you're golden. You might still be fine if you're running a blog that discusses Tekken and acknowledges their ownership of the trademark on the site. You might run into problems, however, if you attempted to monetize that blog, because then is it freedom of the press or an attempt to profit from the trademark of others?

In any case, there's a risk to the end-buyer, because he has to secure permission and/or can't use it as a commercial endeavor, which also means little or no profits to justify the domain expense.

As a disclaimer, I'm not a lawyer and don't know trademark law. I've only read up on it and had a little experience registering trademarks. I could be totally wrong here, but this is my limited understanding..
