Why the scope of the UDRP and ACPA) should be extended to cover investment grade domains

This post is here for all domain investors, especially heavy portfolio owners (you know who you are), and their intellectual properties lawyers. It is for those, the lobby and laws which want to improve in connection with the domain industry.

The domain industry matures and laws should older with him. It's no secret the UDRP process if WMDs. It is partly because it takes into account that some domains by many are desirable and have intrinsic value in the property, monetization and sales of these domains. In this example I reefer liquid segment will the domain industry, three-letter of .com domains. If a company files a UDRP for a three letter .com domain is it because you deserve it, or is it because you want something for a fraction of the cost for the purchase of the domain owner? If the latter, why file you for the .NET .org,. de, .tv, etc.? And why should a company such a domain instead of others which deserve to share the trademarks in the domain? My conclusion that read hundreds of submissions is you just want something for nothing, and how many neglect protect your valuable domains cannot afford this have to do and does not respond, and create arbitrators the far from consistent, the UDRP wheel is an effective way to play the odds. Its time domain owners show this argument in their defence submissions that domain name, by many (investment grade) are desirable can and should be treated as legitimate assets. Click I'm not only on generic or descriptive, in this category but I refer to names that are desirable and could be traded because of their usefulness. In the domain world, three letter domains are traded as a commodity. You can list all three letter .com on the market and if its cheap enough it is low a buyer (lowest price is around $ 3 K last some months ago, I). So if you buy of such a domain for $1,000, in good faith (bona fide) and specific without registration Corporation, you are close to guarantees for a profit on the same day you tilt it, acquired to the simplest reason short domain names in the .com TLD are desirable and a traded commodity among many. It should mean that if the domain BBC.com * running it should register?I argue the Gegenteil.Egal what it "Investment Grade", and as long as you other trade, so long as it is to trade marks three letter .com domain should be clearly owned by such domains.
