Could I get some guesses as to what I could get for this prime piece of virtual real estate?

Consider "wwe" was the sixth most popular search term on yahoo in 2002. (Info Here)

Thanks!

"Consider "wwe" was the sixth most popular search term on yahoo in 2002. (Info Here)"

If it's (.COM) in 6th Place on Yahoo, then there IS a reason ... and my guess has to do with a company having the name and (TM) trademark! I would first investigate that potential (legal) aspect ... and then remind myself that its an ".INFO" and not the .COM! Hope that helps.

Points taken and understood,

the interesting aspect of the situation is that I registered this before the WWE even existed, at least in it's current form. I just picked it up as an interesting acronym that was, in my opinion, nice because it was remarkably close to "www" and that "world wide" is easily understood.

I had no idea that "World Wrestling Entertainment" would be the acronym of choice.

I guess the irony of the situation is that the company with the trademark was one not known to be very respective of trademarks in the past, themselves. Beside the point, I believe they should have won the trademark battle over "wwf" but that's a different story.

p.s.
Do any lawyers here know of any cases where an owner would have to give up a name even though they had it before an identity trademarked it? Does prior art even apply to trademarks?

IMO, 3 and 4 letter .info domains are 'ugly'.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think I know the answer to this one. Since you had the name before it was a registered trademark by the former WWF, they have no legal claim to this name. Just make sure that you don't use it in a way to promote a site so it is confusingly similar to their target audience. But I guess I don't have to tell you that

Why are 3-letter .info domains ugly? Does that include dan.info?

time will tell.

I like it. I'd say $100 starting. I'd hold on to it and wait on selling it. Depending on the success of .info, you might be thankful you waited, or you might wish you sold it while you had the chance.

time will tell.

Indeed it will.

Good luck.

I am not a lawyer. But on the subject wwe (TM) 3 letters that can represent many variables. Example: ( World Wide Ecology ) this has nothing to do with World Wrestling Entertainment. A totally different subject all together. And if you registered it, before world westling entertainment, you have a right to keep it. My advise in buying acronym's, is check trade marks first before registering. Their may be several trade marks with the same acronym. Find out what the nature of their business is, and be sure not to be in competition with any of them.

 

Is sex.info ugly ?

The WWE arn't nice when it comes to trademarks.
They close down and confiscate names that have WWE/WWF in them.
