    Contacting possible end-users

    Hi, I have a name that I would like to market to possible end-users. My plan is to send emails to a number of companies that uses similar domains.

    The domain is a VCVC.com, and although it does not have a generic meaning, it is used by a lot of companies all over the world because it is short for a number of meanings.

    I am aware some companies have trademarks for the term in the US and maybe a few other countries. But since my domain is from 1992 and currently points to a sedo sales page (not a parking page), I feel I am quite safe contacting these companies.

    Or am I wrong? Do I risk that they will use my email to try to take it away from me?

    Any input much appreciated

    if you don't know the risks, then you shouldn't be soliciting

    Also you can look-up US trademarks and learn more about trademark rules at the US Patent & Trademark office: uspto.gov

    It's legally tricky so look it up.

    For example if you owned Camel.com, you could market it safely as a generic to camel (the animal) dealors, but you could not market it to Camel Tobacco dealors or RJ Reynolds.
