curious!

GoodyCrapwads

Later I do a google search and there is a product called "GoodyCrapwads" and they have a lame Domain: "1AGoodyCrapwads.com".

Their site looks very professional

Immediately I see dollar signs... $5000 at least.

They have no "TM" next to their name. Besides "Goody" and "Crapwads" are everyday terms. Am I likely to run into issues?

Do they have a case? Should I send them an E-Mail or letter from an Attorney so that know I'm not a nimrod?

Thanks

Doesn't matter if they don't have a registered tm. It's all about 'usage' in commerce.

good to know. I hope that the words may be generic enough though. They were common enough for me to type them in.

I think you would lose a udrp especially if you approach them first, these are the most obsecure use of generics i have ever heard
IMHO

If you register a name with plans to sell it them, I belive that is considered "bad faith"

Hmm... maybe "goodycrapwads.com" would be good after all

Thanks for the info

You WILL lose in udrp and the name's worth 10.00

Your entire post has more than a touch of 'nimrodiness' about it

That was a joke... I prefaced by stating the names were fictional.

I get 20 unique visitors a day to the actual landing page. T
