is my domain trademarked ???

Ok.. I have a bit of a problem. :/

I bought nintendo-games.info at a fair price and the owner and a few other people tole me there was no trade mark issue or copyright issue.

I go to another Domain site and thay are all saying there is a trade mark issue.


so is there a trade mark issue > and if so what do I do about the domain ?


Thx... I am kinda worried.

Anything Nintendo related is going to be a trademark issue, unless your name is Angisson Nintendo-Games. Think about it why would you want a Nintendo domain unless you were planning on doing something that had to do with Nintendo (the video game system)? You might be lucky and Nintendo might not be one of those companies that are overzealous and want all of their domains back. Put up a Nintendo fan site. They could send you a cease and desist and tell you to give them back the domain, but you won't know unless you try.

Well due to legal concerns I sold the domain.. I really wanted to use it but I don't wanna get sued over a 5 dollar domain.

I rather the other guy work with it than me.

you may still give your opions on this and eveything.. Just wanted to give you the heads up I sold it.

I can't imagine a .info domain would attract too much traffic on it's own anyways. 5 bucks is nothing.

I agree, good choice.

Just out of curiosity, what were you originally planning on doing with the site to begin with?

Well, you could try that but you would lose. Nintendo would take you to court (because they have the money to do so) and get the domain for free. You would be classified as a cybersquatter (a person that buys domains with only the intent to sell them to a company with the same name) and you probably would be fined a hefty fee as well.

Angisson made the right choice. It's just not worth testing your luck with something like this.
