Beware the recent phone4u.co.uk Appeal (especially paragraphs 36-40) if it is a product sold in the UK and there is a risk that litigation could follow here.

May well be a sensible course of action.

I sometimes get resumes sent to me by people thinking they are applying for jobs because I own *wordword.com and *word-word.com is an employment finding site. I just delete em.

I have similar on one of my domains, get loads of CV's from progressive.co.uk . Several multi meg forwards of their crap to multi addresses soon sorted that one out

Cheers for all of the advice on this. The firm in question is a famous UK based company who has an international reputation for being very guarded about their TM.

I am stunned they haven't been in touch as they regged the .co.uk of my domain years after I regged the .com, and they have the .com as well as the .co.uk of every other domain I know they have regged, very odd!

To reaffirm I regged this name back in the days that I thought it was big and clever to reg TM's. I know better now. However, if there is anyone here that wants to take over this domain and try their luck with the TM holder then I'm up for offers.

Provided they are a reputable member of this board I wouldn't mind transfering it to them and then taking half of what ever they get. I just don't want my name on the domain if a dispute erupts.

I think the responsible thing to do is return it to sender and explain that they've made a mistake.

This is what I've done in the past.


THe sender then knows that they may have released sensitive info and can change passwords if necessary.

This is what we all do with surface mail isn't it?

Hi Lesurf

if i was a lawyer and you posted in forum Hi,

Here's an interesting one. I regged a TM domain around four years ago. It's a .com and describes a particular line of product made by a large multinational company. It is not generic at all.

you have admitted its a tm (word of advise do not say you reggied name has tm and post it on forums as smart Url lawyers read these posts and could use it against you so in future be carfull what you post

Good Advice. I have decided against doing anything with the domain other than letting it expire and turning off all e-mail. I would probably even release it if I knew how to do so in the UKREG control panel. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this let me know.
