Wish to sell Linkedin.ws

[B.Singh]

I have a domain linkedin.ws which I would like to sell. I have few questions which I need to know as well.

1. Can this domain linkedin.ws sold to Linkedin.com since they manage the Linkedin Network ?
2. What is the estimate cost of this domain if it is acquired by Linkedin.com ?
3. If I have to sell this domain where should I get it listed first ?

Linkedin network was purchased by Microsoft for 26 Billion USD and I would like to know your inputs on the costing of this domain.

Western Samao Island is a real Location and domains associated with Western Samao Island are given .ws extension.

Please share your thoughts.

Not sure you wanna go there. Since it's more a liability than possible profit, I think it might not even be worth the regfee. I think you might've had a sale if you had the .net or Linked.in and with a goddamn good lawyer on your back.

They own the trademark. They can take legal action against you and they have the money to do it. This is a very bad idea, drop the domain IMO

Microsoft has a history of suing instead of buying when their intellectual property is involved.

I do not wish to copy linkedin logo or services in any way. It is just a domain and I wish to sell it to Linkedin network.

I am not trying to copy their logo or services in any way and this is not what i want to do with this domain. I just want to know if it is of any worth to linkedin network.

It is linkedin.ws and not Linkedin Network.

 

[B.Singh]

So then what should I do with this domain.

 

[dordomai]

It is still TM infringement. It is worthless. Drop it.

 

[B.Singh]

How do you drop domain

 

[B.Singh]

What should I do then ?

 

[dordomai]

Just delete it from your registrar interface if they allow it. If not contact support and ask them to delete it.

If they don't want to tell them you made a mistake and you want to have it deleted for Trademark/Legal reasons.

Make sure that the domain does not not show any PPC ads in the meantime.

Yeah drop it like it's hot dude...

Or

buy a big tub of Vaseline and get ready for a proper shafting from Microsoft.

A simple google search before registration will help you a lot.

Drop it. Stay away from trademark names. Its a beginners mistake and you will learn from it. Good Luck..

Oh please.......

 

[B.Singh]

Thanks for all your support and guidance. I have sent request for cancellation of the domain due to accidental registration and hope to see it removed from my domain account.

 

[B.Singh]

Domain registrar has confirmed that domain will be removed/cancelled in 35 Days. Is there something else I need to do ?

Nope thats it for now. Like everyone else advised you, stay away from TMs from now on.
