Twiiter . com sold for $16,999 on DropCatch today. There were 104 bids. Is it just me, or is that a waste of money and a UDRP waiting to happen?
Not just UDRP but shame to the industryโฆNot just UDRP.. owner should delete it immediately avoid additional fees and charges
You sure itโs not dictionary word; due to Twitter.com?Twitter is a dictionary word.
As long as there is no direct statement about Twitter brand, I don't think it will be a problem. Moreover, it is impossible for someone who can pay a large amount of money blindly through a platform subject to strict rules like Dropcatch, not to have heard of UDRP.
The winner will amortize their investment in a few years through "typo type-in traffic".

Twitter was a dictionary word years before this brand emerged. Which is where it got its bird logo and concept of "twitting".
It doesn't matter if the TM is invented or a dictionary word (e.g., Apple)
It doesnโt matter if its a dictionary word. That doesnโt spare a big pocketed bottom feeder from UDRP. Twitter is globally recognized and is associated with nothing else. This is expensive cyber squatting.@Samer

.It actually quite matters.
You can acquire "apple.info" and set up an website about apple varieties around the world. And Apple Inc. can't do anything about it.
According to current WIPO data, there are 7,512 registered brands with "apple" in them.
Corporations may only monopolize publicly held common words for their own benefit in certain areas.
Do not be so afraid, know your rights.
We are all bottom feeders ,example buying an expired domain drop at godaddy for 30 bucks and reselling it to the old /young buyer for 4 grand ''sorry Kid I know its your family name but im a bottom feeder'' I cant do BETTER Pay up shut up and get study for your SAT.I honestly hope so.
I hate rewarding these type of bottom feeders.
Thereโs zero creativity even with the โtrafficโ typo copout.
It depends how aggressive Twitter is to protect their IP; Hope they are half as aggressive as Facebook!
maybe twitter just bought it,if the stats are so high and everyone bid it up ,why shouldent they just pay the 16k and avoid a long fight ,and bs news about a little fight when hes taking over the world and beyond ,my calculations is that would be less then a minutes interest on his net worth ,why waste hours thinking about thisTwitter is a dictionary word.
