Title:
Battling For Domain Names
Article:
As fewer and fewer good domain names remain, more and more companies are finding it harder and harder to get the domain name for their company. Part of the reason that good names are hard to get is that many people are registering domain names left and right with the intent to resell them for a hefty sum. They have no intention of using it for developing a site for themselves but to profit off the company or individuals that may desire it. It goes without saying that the profits they seek are far more than what they paid for it.

There have been several court battles already concerning usage and ownership of trademarks and domain names. It is difficult, though, to prove that the registrant purchased the domain in order to resell the domain for excess profit even if you can prove that there is a long established history of the use of trademark on your part.

There are other situations that may provide alternatives to court and legal battles. It is possible that the registered owners is working on using the name themselves but are still working on their site. If they havent invested too much into the domain, they may be willing to transfer it to you for the right deal.

Another alternative is to do a WHOIS lookup to find the registered owner and speak with them to arrange some sort of mutually beneficial solution to selling you the name. There could be a good chance that the registered owner is willing relinquish the name and do so without court involvement.

This issue of domain name rights and ownership is becoming more hotly contested these days. If laws are not passed to protect domain names for legitimate usage, people will continue to buy up names for the quick buck and no one wins
