Hi,

I read Mat's thread ( http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/domain...m-domains.html ) earlier and had a nose at the 'premium names' on offer via their https://www.domainmonster.com/domain-for-sale/ site.

What is odd is there are quite a few blatent TM's, and some of those are parked / waiting to be parked with Sedo.

For example:
sonyplaystation.asia (waiting to be added?)
sonypsp.asia (showing PSP adverts on a Sedo lander)
sonytv.asia (showing sony TV ads on sedo lander)

Stuff like ralphlauren.me is not parked with Sedo, however with massive massive brands like Sony surely it could be worth implementing something like Skinner suggested at http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/sedo/5...tml#post189779 namely:

Given the money and resources of sedo, would you say it was 'reasonable' for them to have a code monkey write some simple regex that runs popular or the most reported TMs you mentioned thru the domain database ?

For example, a simple select statement for the domain list of the table, with a %like% test for 'ferrari', 'microsoft', 'google', 'sedo' ?

OR the above select, with a regex that loops thru looking for them ?

I wrote something similar to test drop lists (doesnt quite work 100% but hits a fair few but then don't have the resources of sedo).

My Questions are simple, require a binary response.

1, Is it reasonable for sedo to run such queries as parr of the course ?

2, Do sedo have more than a few grand profit margin to afford said code monkey ?

3, Will sedo even consider this ?

I use the word reasonable purposely

Hi there,
Just like other aftermarket platforms, we do have a system in place to help protect the IP rights of brand owners.

This is supported by Sedo's Rights Protection Programme, which gives intellectual property rights holders a streamlined process for submitting complaints regarding domains being listed for sale or being parked with Sedo.

We encourage rights holders to utilize the RPP complaint process, so Sedo can protect intellectual property with a range of policies.

Despite Sedo’s best efforts, it is impossible for Sedo to monitor and verify the millions of domains that are bought, sold and parked with Sedo every year. Intellectual property and trademark law, specifically, often hinge on fact-specific details which are impossible for Sedo to review. For these reasons, it is the intellectual property owner’s responsibility to monitor their rights and to file a complaint if they believe these rights have been violated by a Sedo user. We are the only secondary market provider to offer such a formalized process.

If you're acting for a brand, which is concerned about potential IP infringement, please see:

OK maybe I was being a bit hard on Sedo,

Just got an email from them saying Barnsleywindows.co.uk has been removed due to TM issues.

"Due to the famous nature of the trademark contained in the domain at issue, Sedo is forced to remove your domain from the domain marketplace and parking program at this time"

Firstly it's not on their nameservers so not big deal. It was in my old account but not parked with them.

Secondly; if this was a proactive attempt on their part to clean up the system, I can see how hard it's going to be to write the code to remove the TM's from their system.

Fair play and I apologise.
