Domain name registration if a company is established but has no domain name and you register it and they want it can they force you to give it up or do they have to buy it from you if you want to sell.:confused:

I think if you've registered an address it is yours until you stop paying for it.
All I can think of is how much BJ's must of had to pay, I would guess that name might of already been picked up??

you can buy it yourself and then sell it to them, some people make a business of this practice.

Actually if its a trademarked name - you wouldnt stand a chance of keeping it. You couldn't go out and register cocacola.com for example. This happened to a friend of mine who is in insurance - he was very early in the internet game and registered a well known domain name (of a big insurance company) - they made him hand it over.

people are watching domains if you dont reregister it and it expires they will snatch it up on you and its gone for good I think it would be cheaper to give them 500.00 for it then giving thousands in court fees to get it back.

At first Abu Garcia was not registered by Pure fishing it was registered by a company that had a Penal implant device and they black mailed Abu into buying the Registration.:D . Funny I told the Abu rep that the guys I knew got an erection just looking at reels. :D

I heard Abu paid $50,000 for the rights
