Is It Wise to Buy Domains with Registered Trademarks? Looking for Legal and Valuation Advice

[sudhakardasari]

Hi all,

I’m thinking about bidding on a domain in an auction. Right now, the bid is around $XXX and there are about 1 days left. The problem is that the main 2word in the domain is actually a registered trademark.

Can anyone tell me if it’s a good idea to buy domains that have registered trademarks? I know you can use them for business, but is it legal to buy them just to flip (resell) later?

Also, what’s the best domain appraisal tool to check the value of such domains?

Thanks for any advice!

No!

Absolutely not.

See what Wordpress Foundation does if you use "Wordpress" in a domain name.
