Hi guys,
I'll start off by saying that I have dabbled with domain buying and selling for a few years now but I'm not sure what to do with a domain I have and hopefully some of you insightful people may be able to advise me!
When I first got into the game a few years back one of the first domains I ever registered was a .co.uk domain which had been deleted from a previous registrant and is heavily linked with a large UK retailer in the FTSE100.
I am a bit unsure whether it would be construed as a trademark (as my domain has an "s" at the end where the registered trademark on the ICO website doesn't). Anyway, I am unsure with what to do with this domain.
I would be happy to sell but I know the whole situation with potential trademark conflicts and I don't want to be involved in anything to do with lawsuits. I don't really want to be a cybersquatter and I don't really have any use for the domain.
As much as I want to let it expire, I just can't believe I am in ownership of such a well known brands domain. They have currently registered some of the other TLD's for the domain but they have never contacted me regarding the .co.uk, possibly because it is just an empty page with no content.
Any advice would be great, I admit it was a noobie mistake to make at first but just wondering what the best thing going forward is in your guys opinion as I accept you probably know more on the subject than I do!
Thanks for any input
