Seems unlikely a DRS would work unless there are copyright/trademark issues on your business and new owner is stepping on toes.As you say, its not the new owners fault. Did you have an existing site/business on the domain ?
Hi, thanks for replying - no I mainly acquired this domain because of it's resale value (I buy and sell domains, albeit on a fairly small scale) - the person who's acquired it obviously has the same view since they have it for sale at over £2000. I have had sites on it in the past (I sometimes use existing domains I own to put up temporary sites when I'm testing things - this was actually how I came to notice it wasn't in my domain account this morning)
I didn't think DRS would be appropriate either however part of the DRS criteria mentions being able to claim if you have a prior contractual right to the name (which I consider myself to have) so I dont know
