Domain owners face uncertainty and potential loss of their online presence when dealing with trademark disputes, particularly when offering their domain for sale. DomainShield provides a proactive solution, helping users navigate trademark compliance and ensure legitimate use of their domain, even when listing it for sale, to avoid arbitration risks and potential domain seizures.
I can't seem to be able to edit out the swipe.- such a pussy about actually using record types+ not bold enough to use actual record typesAnd I know it's not the core of the issue, but I meant "using TXT records for everything" not "for everyone".
> I shouldn't offer it for sale as that would show the arbitration board that I don't need the domain. [...] So I could keep the domain but not use it for commerce...If you're offering it for sale, you're clearly not using it for commerce. I'm sure if you finished you game and offered it for sale on that domain, you'd be fine. You're actually using it and in a non-infringing way.So yes, if you're selling a domain and someone has a trademark for it, you should have to hand it over. Hell, I'd argue that should apply even without a trademark, but alas...
The concern is if you own a domain that you don’t own the trademark for.Twitter owned both the domain and all trademarks so it’s a non issue.Basically in fairly limited circumstances you can have your domain taken off you if someone else holds a matching trademark. Saying you are selling it can go some way to demonstrating you are not holding it in good faith.
It certainly should be. Filtering user-registrable names that will end up in host names or URL paths is table stakes. You want to block names like www, admin, root, robots.txt, .well-known, _*, and so forth.
Sounds like a great way to have larger competitors with more capital bid for your site to take down your domain that your users were using. Rather than Land Value Tax a better analogy might be a Vacant Property Tax which only targets squatting.
