Toyota.me

Can someone explain why this domain wasn't taken during sunrise period?

It's in auction right now and is over $90,000...

Why would anyone pay that much for a trademark?

i was wondering that myself, maybe its some kind of a publicity stunt ?

Well my question is why is Godaddy/.me allowing trademarked domains being auction. I am sure they know toyota, facebook and a whole bunch of other names are trademark property of others.

Since godaddy is a private, for-profit company i wonder if they can be sued by Toyota for selling their trademark on their auction and profiting off their name.

Do they know its a trademark? Yes. Will they take the money? I bet yes.

Just to prove that something is inherently wrong once again with these auctions. Mind boggling to me.

What other trademarks is godaddy making money off? i am sure they are aware of this. But they choose to still make a profit. I wonder if this falls in cybersquatting. Can a registry/godaddy be able to profit off somebody else's trademark and are they liable?

i thought toyota would have grabbed it already when trademark reg's were being taken
