[SedoCoUk]

Sedo, the leading online domain marketplace and broker of super premium domain names, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Escom, LLC to privately broker the sale of Sex.com, widely considered to be the world’s most valuable domain name, as well as two related trademark registrations with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

“We are excited to be working with Sedo and believe Sedo’s vast experience, expertise with high value domain names, credibility and worldwide network of clients will ensure that Escom receives a price for the sex.com domain name and its related trademarks that reflects its true value as the best domain name in the world” said Del Anthony, CEO of Escom.

“It is an extremely rare opportunity that a domain name of this caliber becomes available for sale”, said Kathy Nielsen, Director of Sales at Sedo. “We are very pleased to be chosen as the exclusive brokerage firm to represent this domain sale. Short, descriptive domains are an amazing marketing vehicle. The sale of sex.com presents potential buyers with a once in a lifetime opportunity. The possibilities for this domain are endless and will enable the new owner to instantly define itself as a leader in its industry.”

Descriptive domains that define a category historically have been the most valuable properties on the Web. ‘Sex’ continues to be one of the most searched for terms on the Web and its mainstream appeal has grown exponentially over the past few years. The new owner of this domain will enjoy a clear competitive advantage as a market leader, dramatically enhanced organic search rankings, tremendous traffic generated from direct navigation and an unsurpassed ability to drive online marketing and branding initiatives.

Parties interested in buying the Sex.com domain should contact Sedo at consult@sedo.com.

I'm just wondering. If the word "sex" is so generic, why would patent company allow it to be trademarked? I thought that you can't trade mark generic words. Just curious. Hope you don't mind me posting in this thread.

Please consider using Vanessa Thanos as the auctioneer. Not only she is stunning she's also fantastic at what she does at an auction.

you can trademark any name but it must have a product or service attached to it, with no two products or service being alike that use same name... that is the best i can explain.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your comments. We are very excited to be working with Escom, LLC to broker the sale of Sex.com. Since this domain is not in auction, serious buyers may work directly with the listing broker to negotiate with the seller.

@Acro - The e.co live auction was fun to watch. I agree, Vanessa Thanos is a very talented auctioneer.

Have a wonderful weekend!
