domain value of PapaJohns.TV?

[gobillygo]

anyone want to take a guess?...just so I can get a ballpark figure.

 

[mr-x]

Papa Johns is a well know trademark and without a legitimate use your at best going to receive a letter from a lawyer.

 

[gobillygo]

so, im guessing that I shouldnt try to sell it.
I had NO idea! Im learning something new everyday.
Is there anything that I can do with that domain?

 

[mr-x]

Delete it.

You can check US trademarks here, http://www.uspto.gov/

 

[gobillygo]

well......
I guess that I will just keep it for "grins and giggles".
..OR can I get into trouble for JUST having it?

 

[kngavl]

You can get in trouble just for having it.

Bill HR 3754,
The extensions to the Trademark Act would make the provision of misleading contact details when registering a domain an offence. Not only that but a “willful” offence - which in American law means three-times normal payout. Also, anyone “acting in concert with the violator” or “maintaining or renewing such registration” would also be guilty. In the case of a trademark infringement on the domain “the maximum imprisonment otherwise provided by law for a felony offense shall be increased by 7 years”.

But it's okay mate, everyone makes mistakes.

looks like a "Bill" to me and not yet law...and it only applies in the US...and according to your posting, trademark infringement is 7 years, not for misleading contact details.

If such a law exists today where a person can get 7 years for misleading contact details, please show the law.....and it does not apply to anyone outside of the US, if such a law exists.

 

[gobillygo]

ok....Let's all get along in here.
We will pretend that this origional post NEVER happened.
Is there a way that it can be deleted?

 

[Jake]

It depends where it is registered.
But if you even park it, you could get up to -$100,000 for it.

Not a bad return :p

If you need help deleting it, PM me

 

[gobillygo]

Hey
you said if that domain is parked, "someone could get up to $100,000 for it"?

H.R.3632
It did pass both houses.
Fraudulent Online Identity Sanctions Act

SEC. 204. AMENDMENT TO TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE.

(a) Sentencing Enhancement- Section 3559 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

`(f)(1) If a defendant who is convicted of a felony offense (other than offense of which an element is the false registration of a domain name) knowingly falsely registered a domain name and knowingly used that domain name in the course of that offense, the maximum imprisonment otherwise provided by law for that offense shall be doubled or increased by 7 years, whichever is less.

`(2) As used in this section--

`(A) the term `falsely registers' means registers in a manner that prevents the effective identification of or contact with the person who registers; and

`(B) the term `domain name' has the meaning given that term is section 45 of the Act entitled `An Act to provide for the registration and protection of trademarks used in commerce, to carry out the provisions of certain international conventions, and for other purposes' approved July 5, 1946 (commonly referred to as the `Trademark Act of 1946') (15 U.S.C. 1127).'.

Became Public Law No: 108-482

And yes this exists and only refers to US law, but the domain at hand is registered to a United States Address thus it's relevant.

I said -$100,000 (They can sue you for up to $100,000 I think)

:p

cinemaflicks.org - Not bad. About $20-30 Id say
digitaldownloadusa.com - I dont like this one as much, maybe $15
barackobamahotline.info - I can't see this going anywhere. :/
impeachgeorgewbush.info - I also dont see this having value because he won't be in office mich longer.

Good luck!
Jake
