[QUOTE="amplify, post: 2350210, member: 130638"] This is simply not true. A domain can go through expiration cycles and have multiple owners before finding its true home. In the meanwhile, someone could set up shop and trademark their phrase for certain protection. If you bought the domain after this date, and then set up where it infringes on it, it does not matter when the creation date is, rather the first archived instance of trademark infringement. Expiring auctions are buyer beware. Check for TMs to ensure that you're not buying one, or that you can defend yourself against one by clearly differentiating your product from the protections granted for others' marks. [/QUOTE]
