    Not true, change the whois on the domain first to crap whois then delete the domain and you will be fine.

    Trust me on this.

    Probably one of the only benefits of using GoDaddy.

    I've had some potential TM domains before and this feature helped me out handsomely.

    Just put "John Doe 123 Main Street Anytown AK 12345 18005555555" as the contact details to muddy the waters, should the TM owner come after you for having registered the name in the past.

    So long as it's deleted, it's either available to register, or belongs to someone else. And if it belongs to someone else, what the heck would a TM owner be coming after you for, since you don't even own the name?

    TM names are like a hot potato that never cools. Don't be caught holding one.

    Be careful, I am still contacting GoDaddy about this issue. when I find the domain has TM problem, I immediately deleted it. I never thought after 2 months godaddy charges me $20 for TM owner complained, $29 for UDRP. And godaddy parked the domain with godaddy ads in this 2 months. Now Godaddy will lock my account.

    that's the points!
    so what's the problem of TM issues if it can be solve by transferring the domain(s) that have TM problems to the TM owners if they need them?! isn't this the easiest ways to solve the problems?

    The easiest solution to the problem is:

    • A. Don't reg them.
    • B. Drop the Name
    • C. Don't contact the TM holder
    • D. All the above

    sure i learnt the lessons,
    i wrote for those who registered domain & don't know it can make TM issues & received asking of the domain from the TM owners, that's what i think about after i keep reading here from yesterday, so if that happened so:

    whenever TM owners contact me, I immediately reply: I can transfer the domain to you or delete it immediately.

    But the problem is one of my deleted domain was made active back into my account by GoDaddy after near 2 months. And the TM owner filed UDRP to the domain. In this period, godaddy was parking the domain with all kinds of godaddy ads.

    It is like you see some stones on the roadside, you collected it and then sent them back. But some one forced to put the stones back into your pocket and filed a case against you saying you illegally owned it. The rediculous thing is the guy who put the stones back to your pocket charged you money without notice and monetized the stones for a month long period.

    I do not understand the logic inside. Maybe just because I am not a native American?

    The same feeling. Haven't you gotten any reasonable answer from Godaddy?

    I contacted them, but GoDaddy president office said non-negotiable.

    Now it is my lawyer's work to talk with them.
