Country: | (I am not a lawyer, I do not play one on TV, nor do I look like one) Depends, if the domain can be proven to have been registered in bad faith then they can go after you.

| | If it's a blatant typo like gooogle.com or yahooo.com, then of course, it's reasonable to expect that these would be enforced. If it's something googgle.com, it's borderline. It all just depends, and of course it depends how you're using it. Common sense should prevail... |

| | I must respectfully disagree. What's "borderline" about the word "goggle?" "Goggle" in my opinion is NOT borderline. It's a dictionary word and that's the reason I didn't use it as an example. It's not a typo, it's a word in and of itself. Google would struggle to go after "goggle.com" because of the fact it's a dictionary word AND because of the way it's being used. |

DNF$: 4,835 Location: Columbia, MD | Yeah... right. I find there is no common sense with many domainers. Quote:
[harsh]This is one of the weakest arguments ever in trying to defend a domain in regards to a TM. Do you kow how many "dicrtionary" words are trademarked???? Do you know how many decisions were in favor of the TM holder of a "dictionary" word? Come on, you have to do better than that if you hope to defend a domain registration. This argument only works if the word is DESCRIPTIVE of what the content supports. I wish domainers would learn the difference between "generic" and "descriptive". It amazes after all the discussions in the domaining circles that people are not learning. [/ harshness over] Usage plays a very important part in determining bad faith. This includes typos too. Typosquatting IS cybersquatting, it doesn;t matter what anyone thinks or what their opinions are, all that matters is what WIPO and the courts have to say. (and they say it is bad in case you were wondering)
