Got My First CDRP (1.Viewing)

DomainRecap · Jan 11, 2023

I'm pretty careful when it comes to registering domains and never go after TMs, but I guess not careful enough, as I just got hit with a pile of CIRA emails.

Interestingly, this same law firm on the CDRP made an offer to buy the domain through Dan, which I countered and they disappeared, so it was obviously a trap bid that I plan on including with my response.

Needless to say I am not pleased, especially as they have not made any official contact to try and mediate the situation, as required by the CDRP.

Good luck with this and thank you for keeping us in the loop. If you feel you need a lawyer, there's always

@Zak , but you know that.

That's annoying. Sounds like a hail mary.

@DomainRecap

I was going to like your post but it just seemed wrong

I like how you handle things, sucks that you got hit.

@DomainRecap In your opinion, is it the law company trying to secure it for themselves or a client?

I have yet to have the pleasure of CDRP, but I did get a broker offer today for a 4l.ca, which could easily be coming from a law company. However, not worried about it.

I mostly do google searches when buying domains but rarely dig deep into trademark searches. In other's opinions, what can be a sweet spot when pricing a problematic domain for a quick sale and CDRP avoidance?

That sucks. Good luck with the case.
